OK Don, I pulled one leg of D9 and saw 54K forward and infinite reverse on the DVM (no KAT2) so I'm guessing that's ok for a Schottky diode. I just now checked the tuner taps and the antenna was charged up pretty good. . .that's amazing since there's hardly a breeze and it isn't below freezing out. I suppose my 35 foot linear loaded vertical dipole (with 6 foot capacitance hats on on the far ends) is a pretty good static picker-upper. Do you think I could get away with a choke to ground, say 50 MH on each leg of the ladder line on the antenna side of the tuner? I guess I better do the math to figure out what the impedance would be on each of the bands 40 thru 10 --although heaven only knows what the antenna impedance would be on each band. I guess I could always put the bleeder on the nominal 50 ohm side of the tuner.
