Just wondering: If you had a 33 foot horizontal wire, fed at one end with a
ladder line, which was connected to an atu, it would work on 20 metres, but
would it work on 40, 80 and 160metres? TIA.


Hi Rich,

It might, but your atu might not. ATUs are not a one-size-fits-all
solution. In fact they fit very few problems that are not already
pretty close (and what you describe above and in other posts is
definitely not close). Maybe two bands will pull in, the others will
not (unless the loss of the ATU adds to the appearance of being
"tuned").
