Eventually want to have a small "fire-proof" tuning shack. Built with just entrance door and three sides [garage as back side] That would be the best way to handle these long high voltage waves-Bob

Funny stuff Bob :-) Ralph in Louisiana
built a autotuner for 600 meters. Might be sumthin for your next
project :-) Stay warm and Merry Christmas.

Mike;
Outside in this climate can be very tough to keep in tune. The
way I am setup the rig is in the garage which is insulated and
heated. The 90' of open wire line from the center fed 75 meter
extended double zepp is the vertical twin feeders shorted at the
feed point right where it comes in the garage. The pair of 150'
legs are the top loading. 160 and 80 meter tuning networks are
right there also so I still have a very effective HF ant. If I
plan to go any lower in freq I would enclose that outside at the
present line input point. The 90' tower is about 15 feet from
this garage line input and is a straight shot to the garage line
input point. Never have to go outside to change things and keep
a close eye on what is going on. Have to realize to not get
crazy and be stupid with the power into the ant. A KW input to
the ant on any band is safe for the most part-Bob
