A half wavelength wire is very high impedance and outside the range of
most auto tuners.
If you're going to use half wave wires, feed them through a 9:1 current
balun. (OK, it's not a balun, it's an impedance transformer)

Hello
I have just received my T1 kit and i notice that under the above heading in
the owners manual under random-wire antennas it states(avoid lengths close to
a multiple of 1/2 wavelength on any band) please can someone explain why this
is important,also i wish to use this tuner on the following bands 20/15/10m
so a suggested wire length would be appreciated I only have 40ft of space to
play with.
Thank you.
