MFJ-948 Versa Tuner II
9
WARNING: To avoid problems, a dipole antenna should be a full half-wave on the
lowest band. On 160 meters, an 80 or 40 meter antenna fed the normal
way will be extremely reactive with only a few ohms of feedpoint
resistance. Trying to load an 80 meter (or higher frequency) antenna on
160 meters can be a disaster for both your signal and the tuner. The best
way to operate 160 with an 80 or 40 meter antenna is to load either or
both feedline wires (in parallel) as a longwire. The antenna will act like a
"T" antenna worked against the station ground.
