[ICOM] AT-130 marine antenna tuners

[Vladimir V. Sidorov]

Hi all,

 Eventually I managed to aquire two (two!) Icom AT-130 marine tuners some
 time ago. Both are brand new, in factory sealed bags. I have never had any
 necessity to touch them and they were just collecting dust. However having
 moved to a new house I am faced a serious problem with antennas' location.
 The best I can imagine so far is a random wire from the attic top across my
 backyard. Some counterposes could be placed inside the attic and these 
wires will look like a sort of Inv L. It looks like I am forced to seriously 
consider matching the wire monster somehow. Maybe it's a good chance for the 
tuners.

 Does anybody have any experience/knowledge in usage of the marine tuners
 with amateur equipment? Any hint or so?

 Or maybe somebody needs such a tuner? I am certainly ready for a trade.

 73 and Merry Christmas,

 Vladimir VE3IAE
