Two tuners.......wow, lucky to have any RF into the antenna.

My K3S and its internal ATU will tune the 160M inverted V{256 ft} with balanced  feedline quite easily.  The SWR on the 18" of coax between the 1:1 current balun and the radio is 1.75:1.    The drawback to the 160M antenna.......it is very difficult to rotate.  The antenna works quite well on 160M - 6M.  However nothing to compare with my 4 element 6M yagi.

faded. First time on 6m Es. Great fun!

I was just hearing someone on 50.145, not solid but some words. Then he signed 
and seems dead now.
