During the runup to Cycle 19 [!1957 for me], it was said you could work
anything you could hear on 10 with 20 watts to the window screen.
Window screens were copper in those days. I tried it out with my
"28-28" [6J6-2E26] rockbound 10 m TX, and indeed, I seemed to be able to
work everything I heard if I had a 40 m rock close enough. Window
screens are no longer copper so I don't think it would work today. My
"tuner" was the adjustable link coupling to the tank. College starting
1957, military and SE Asia in 62, and Cycle 19 was in the rear view
mirror when I got home at the end of 1967. Oh that Cycle 25 would
repeat even half of 19!

The KX2 internal tuner is a wide range tuner that might even be able
to match a metal window frame or the proverbial "bedsprings".
