The QRPer Board

Just connected an LDG 9:1 unun to my random wire and it tuned up magically on all bands! 1.3 to 1 on 40 meters putting out 7 watts and 1.2 to 1 on 20 meters and 7 watts. Just made an easy QSO as well!

Next is to put in a common mode choke.

Thank you all so much for your help!

Great! I’ll add a choke to the line! I ordered the 9-1 Balun and it will be here Friday. Thank you for your help!

Thank you so much! I think the 9-1 transformer is the answer and will make one! Thank you and 73’s!

I have a cs 818 tuner that will not tune a 10 meter random antenna with a 17 ft counterpoise. I can tune the wire antenna with an MFJ-945E manual tuner to an SWR of 1 to 1. Is there anything I can do to the antenna so that it will be able to be tuned by the cs-818?
Thanks/Mark

Thank you! I’ll check it out!

I’m looking for some recommendations for a pole and ground stake to put up an EFHW antenna without having a high point. Something fiberglass and portable with a way to put it in the ground.
All ideas are welcome.
