Single band tuners... Link ratio is tuned to the antenna impedence...
All hand made parts including the variable caps... Only ones in the
world and like nuttin you ever saw before... Works like gangbusters...
Just a little hobby to keep me out of bars and from shooting dice on
street corners...

Your link coupling is a better solution although
a fixed number of turns in the link probably won't
work 3-30 MHz.


I remember a tuner like that from the Air Force ham club. When you changed
bands you unplugged a coil and its link. Fed a big 80M thru 10M LPA.
Balanced feedline from the tuner to outside and up the tower was made of
1/2 inch copper tubing. I was impressed , but then again it didnt take that
much to impress me back then.
