I'm aware of the B&W "radiating dummy load" (TTFD) antennas but I'm not
quite ready to give up that much efficiency and I'm DEFINITELY not ready
to blow $300 on one.
If I were to spend $300 , I'd rather put it into a decent tuner,
rather than antenna.
It would be tough to find a tuner that can handle hundreds of watts,
tune in milliseconds, and cost less than $300..
The original poster was talking about *automatic* link establishment,
which implies hands-off operation. The T2FD antennas do that quite
nicely. You're not looking to dig out faint DX from a pileup here, but
establish a link on a designated channel. If the 6-10 dB hit is too
much, you look for a channel where propagation is better.
