Vic,

I will test it tonight. I am using the LDG Electronics automatic antenna tuner. It is water resistant and with the external balun will tune from a 5 ohm to a 4000 ohm load(Ant). My friend was using one on his 65 foot Guthrie with good results. Since I don't use the ouriggers(this will work even if you do use the outriggers with some enginering)I ran the wire (#12 marine , jacketed)through the eye loops. Since the top sections of the Lee Sr. are insulated from the bottom section because of the SS bottom sec and the aluminum top sections. The seperate wire was necessary and makes it simple. I know it'll work on 14 Mhz. My real concern is the lower frequencies for night time use. See what happens and I'll keep you posted as it will also make a good back up antenna.The tuner model is the RT-11 and it's used for boats and land vehicles.
