Definitely a loaded question. No pun intended. I don't have any
experience with 43 ft verticals myself but have heard a lot about them
and have been thinking about building one. I too would like to learn more.

I'd like to know of any stations using a 43 Ft vertical as a
multi-band antenna using nothing but an Elecraft antenna tuner for
matching -- that is, no "baluns", transformers, loading coils, or
additional matching networks. I'd like to know the bands on which you
are able to match it well enough to get full power from the rig (or
the power amp). I'd like to know if the tuner is located at the base
of the antenna, or, if in the shack, the length of feedline between
antenna and tuner.
Thanks and 73, Jim K9YC
