not able to get the tuner to match this setup I'll try the 450 ladder
and and 18awg and risk the visibility.

I have an 88 ft doublet of 26 ga. wire and 300 ohm twinlead approx 25
ft up. My MFJ-971 tuner lets me tune to SWR=1.0 at every ham
frequency from 80M to 10M. 160M not so good.

Some of the minima are very sharp and easily missed, especially on
60M. I know it is working because I am copied 60M NVIS phone 300
miles away using my 5-watt FT-817 with DYC-817 compressor.
