Forget the borax tossers- go for it! Matching should not be too hard if you can get the existing loading temporarily disconnected from either the mast, and do it all yourselves, or from the tx end , and make use of it , by adding a bit more inductance. And do be aware of the comments re high noise levels from the mast on rx,-- they can be very high-specially if there are any electric fences running anywhere within several miles of the place!!! A separate rx antenna is definitely a good idea- if only as a backup. 73 Dave, ZL3FJ
