A 102 ft dipole 40 feet in the air fed with 50 ft of ladder-line
tuned with a dual-gang variable cap on the antenna side of a balun/
choke and no tuner box. Doesn't that sound like a perfect 75m field
day antenna?

I hope you are successful in making people think so. :/ It'll be
easier pickings for me and my superior, lower overall loss, radiating
device. I already use the *perfect* 75m field day antenna. It's a
regular old full size coax fed dipole. Why would anyone want to
clutter up low loss perfection? Boggles my mind...:/ But it's ok, like
I said, it's to my advantage on that bug infested night in June. I
hope everyone else is using G5RV's, windoms, isotrons, EH's and other
such things.. Makes it easier for us. . MK

I suspect the above antenna is more efficient than your coax-fed dipole.
There's negligible loss in the 50 ft. of ladder-line and negligible loss
in the series caps. No tuner required, therefore no lossy coil. So where's
the loss? Please be specific and provide data to back it up.
