The low impedance output tank explains why my antenna current is so low,
do not see the advantage to building a low impedance tank when it would
be feed to relatively high impedance  " short" antennas, perhaps that's
where the huge inductance in the loading coil comes in. will build the 4
to 1 balm and see how that works, would be a lot more satisfying to see
the antenna current meter move. The gorse impedance miss match may
explain the harmonic problem on 160. Thanks for all the responses.
Have updated the pictures of the ham shack on my web page to show the
TCS station. At www.ka3ekh.net

Hope I have the spelling of impedance right and its not impendence.
