Fred is using my design from:

Can the 17 and 10 meter bands be tuned to a better match or are they
compromised so the antenna doesn't need additional matching sections?

Each installation will vary depending upon the surroundings. My 50
ohm SWR on 17m was 1.6:1 and 1.7:1 on 10m. Those were acceptable
to my IC-706 at the time - even more acceptable to me now that I
have an IC-756PRO with its internal tuner. :-)

In fact, one of the advantages/benefits of this matching method is
that it allows internal tuners to achieve perfect matches on all
HF bands - no external tuner necessary.
