To the group:

Has anyone had experience with a random wire antenna hooked up to a 9:1
transformer with lead in wire going to a antenna tuner then to your
receiver? Does the antenna tuner get affected by the inductance of the 9:1
transformer?

I assume by lead in wire, you mean coaxial cable, with the shield grounded
at the antenna?

The 9:1 transformer does not inherently have inductance. If you terminate
the secondary in 450 Ohms resistive, the primary will measure 50 Ohms
resistive.
Perhaps you can better describe your question.
