Default Remote ATU?


Whereas it has become de rigeur for remoate ATUs at the feedpoint of the
antenna,
tuning automatically, I wonder if anyone has historically done this by the
Armstrong***** method?

I ask because my shack is on the first floor in the front bedroom and the
antenna which I
wish to remotely tune is down the back garden.

Has anyone ever done this by the Armstrong method, by a series of wires,
pullies and
rods?

11 years ago, I availed myslef of a roller-coaster at the Flight Refuelling
Rally, and
it is high time to put it into use!

***** Armstrong method means manually!
