I've always used coax, but wanted to give open wire a try, and so far
I'm very pleased with it. But let's talk tuners for a minute, assuming
that we're not directly coupling to a balanced plate tank. I've been
running 1500 watts PEP into a Heathkit SA-2060 with it's 4:1 balun
without incident, but I've heard all the stories about core saturation,
etc. How much advantage would a "real" balanced line tuner (e.g. a
link-coupled tuner or Johnson Matchbox) have? Then antenna by the way
is 130 ft, center fed, and primarily used on 75 meters.
Also, having read comments by Cebik and others - any thoughts on
homebrewing high-power balanced tuners?
Thanks and 73,
