I can make a few pics, it's just going to be a little difficult since
it's up on top of the TX and I'll need to take one pointing down so
you can see the guts. It's too heavy for me to take down.
So far, with the flattop I have - 135 feet w/about 50 feet of
feedline, I can tune 160,80, and 40. I have not tried 20 and above,
however I don't think my minimum capacitance will allow me to.
John/BXO, built up a home-brew balanced tuner, but it had problems, as
well, tuning the higher bands.
If your capacitor is a split stator (I believe you said it was) you can
further reduce the capacitance, by placing both sections in series.
I wonder if it were possible to build a 2, or 3 turn link, that had
cross-supports, that sat on a threaded screw, or something, and was
allowed to slide in/out of a coil would work?
hmmmmm
