[Elecraft] 43' Vertical and the K2 tuner

[James Apple]

After the ice storm of 2009, I'm looking for an new antenna.  I've
been considering the 43' verticals by DXE,HyGain and MFJ.  But I'm not
sure if my K2 tuner will have the range needed.  The DXE site has a
warning about internal tuners.  Anyone using a K2 and a 43' vertical ?
how's it play ?

Thanks in Advance

Re: [Elecraft] Open Wire Feed Line Arrestor

[James Apple]

I used one for 5 or so years with a full wave 80m loop.  It seemed to work
well but I don't think I ever had a hit.

I also had a knife switch, but in case I forgot to throw it or a storm snuck
up on my, I had the ICE unit.

 Still running my K1 (#1423) on inefficient low

 I have some trees that will give me good height 50-60'
 and orient the main lobe of a double extended zepp
 (14MHz) toward Oregon, take notice ECN.

 I have come across a device that will keep the antenna
 at near DC ground at all times.

 http://www.arraysolutions.com/Products/ice/impulse1.html

 go down to Open Wire Arrestor, Model 309

 All units use torroidal inductors and present near
 dead DC short on antenna side of arrestor, constantly
 draining feedline wires of static and any developed
 voltage potential feedthrough breakdown voltage from
 input ports to output ports 4,000 to 6,000 volts.
 Arrestor units may be placed anywhere in the feedline
 at ground level without serious change in tuning, but
 small change may be detectable due to small increase
 in total feedline length caused by size of arrestor
 case  circuit.

 Just wondering if anyone else has used this or a
 similar item and what comments might be made. Just
 trying to be save from lightning.
 I would also put a DPDT knife switch between the feed
 line and the K1 with BL2 to ground the feed line when
 not in use.

 Thanks all.
