DJB,

First - What Radio / Receiver are you using? Generally with
modern Shortwave Receivers do not need an Antenna Tuner.

Second - Try the using your Antenna with the 9:1 Matching
Transformer and Coax Cable Lead-in-Line connected directly
to your Receiver.

Third - Do you have a good earthen Ground for both your
Antenna and the Equipment in your Shack ?

Fourth - IF you find that you are getting signal overload
or need a better Signal then look for a Pre-Selector like
the MFJ-956 or Grove Mini-Tuner Mini-3.

To the group:

Has anyone had experience with a random wire antenna hooked
up to a 9:1 transformer with lead in wire going to a antenna
tuner then to your receiver? Does the antenna tuner get
affected by the inductance of the 9:1 transformer ?
