Default TH3 vs A3S

I have the Tennadyne 6 el Log periodic antenna. Covers 13 to 30Mhz with
an SWR of under 2:1. It has a 12' boom and the longest element is 38'. No
traps or any other trickery and weighs 37lb. I've had it up since 2002
and have worked DXCC on all bands and have about 1500 band countries.
Which means nothing in reality as it's more of a mark of my persistence
than antenna performance. The fact is the antenna performs just as the
specs say and it stays up even with 1/2" of ice. I would look carefully
at this antenna if you are looking for an all band high performance
antenna.

Can you get it to work on 40m or lower with a tuner? I ask because I just
have a kluge antenna that I am feeding through a tuner [TRANSCEIVER VSWR
METER PI-NETWORK TUNER COAX BALUN OCF DIPOLE, 8 FT X 20 FT] and it's
working better than I expected, even on 40.

Just wondering. TKS.
