Thanks for the explanation. What you have described would be more
convenient from an operating standpoint since I would have one less
thing to tune during a QSY.

You might have misunderstood Cecil. I think he is describing a system
where the "optimal length" may be different on each band, so whilst you
don't tune an ATU, you tune the feeder length.

Throwing a couple of knife switches is certainly an easier
and faster QSY than rotating a coil switch and twisting
two interacting capacitor knobs.

Cecil, I was thinking of trying your no= tune antenna and the 16 ft piece
may not be doable at my QTH, I have to keep it all hidden behind the bushes.
Could this piece be replaced with a circuit using lumped LC values.
