Hi Tom, Check out Phil's, AD5X, site: http://www.ad5x.com/articles.htm
He has written a number of articles related to your questions. Good information with plenty of "how to" ideas with locally found materials. Elecraft's Balun kit is also capable of 1:4 unun and will easily work with any 100 watt rig. QST has had several items related to the ubiquitous 43' verticals that are all the rage now. I see at least one person has mentioned radials, which are a must have to effectively use this antenna on 80-30. The K3's ATU is very effective, but keep in mind that you will be matching the feedline and antenna as a unit, versus matching just the antenna. The K3 will most likely find a match most of the time, but you still could be seriously mismatched at the antenna. It may work, it just won't work well.
