How about if you short the coax, apply a good ground at the tuner and use the antenna and feedline as a longwire antenna?

I assumed a 40M dipole fed with 100' of RG-213. 100W in yields 2W out. If you're feeding with ladder line, it's a different deal of course. The feed Z is 16 -J1009 for a whopping VSWR of 1300:1 Dale ______________________________________________________________
