I live in a deed restricted neighborhood and managed to get permission to construct a vertical antenna. At the advice of a Ham-friend of mine, I converted the vertical a few years later to a Inverted L, of which one of the sides is the original vertical (a alluminume 21 ft pole.) and for the other side I attached to the top a 22 gauge wire, which runs to a tree in the back of the property. This arrangement is tuned to the top of the 80m band, and works quite well with a 1.5 to 1 SWR by it self.
The question is, to which frequency shall I tune the antenna if now my main interests are changed from the 80m to the 40, 20 and 15 meter bands? In anticipation of expanding the coverage range of the antenna, I am feeding the antenna now with a coax cable through an MFJ-927 remote tuner, which is located abt. 3ft from the base of the antenna.
(Also, besides the MFJ-927 Remote Tuner, some of the radios I use have a build-in tuner, so if needed, I have a choice which one to use for different bands.)
Any suggestions are appreciated.
