And make it an inverted L while you're at it! I'm just about to order an

SGC239 auto ATU for my inverted L (www.radiowymsey.org/invl.htm). My coax

lies on the ground but only because half the garden is patio and steps.

I am in a situation where I HAVE to bury the feedline, there is no other way around it. I have trees about 20 feet away from my home in the back, great for swinging a long wire, dipole, whatever works but being that the actual space between the trees and my home is a common area, I have to bury the coax.
Placing a remote tuner on the other side would be a bit of a hassle but I see its starting to look like the only way to go?
I got plenty of time, I just want to do this once and the right way.
Again, any thoughts appreciated and thanks to all who have posted, it is turning out to be a very interesting thread.
