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 did this a number of years ago when confronted by a homeowner's
association.
My antenna became a flagpole, insulated from ground and fed with a manual
ATU.
Since I mostly operate CW on HF, I had settings for the CW portion of each
band.
The only "armstrong" involved was that I had to go to the antenna to
change bands.
That really wasn't too bad.

Inevitably that will be my approach until such times as remote control
arrives.

Now, as it happens, I do have the requisite skills both in hardware and
software to
conceive of something in those areas, but as a professional softy, I refrain
from
Busmens' holidays.
