If you don't want a tuner, you might consider buying or making a linked dipole. If you build it, you can make each section to have max ...

Re: New ham interested in CW
Another plug for KM4ACK kit. Packtenna stuff is nicely made, just just have to catch them when available. For other fully assembled options, check out N9SAB's ebay store.

Re: New ham interested in CW
Thanks for responding. I've been watching K4SWL's videos to see what POTA looks like. I would rather have more "meaningful" contacts than the POTA formula, but it looks like a good way to learn. I just ordered the AME Ultra. I am planning to connect it to my iPhone and Morse-it with an Arc...
