I agree with Joseph. I have been able to bust pileups on recent dxpeditions such as VP8PJ, VP6R, and VP6D on 30m and 60m, even though I don't have antennas on those bands. The SWR was 10:1 on my 80/40 vertical, and even though I was blissfully aware of the high voltages in the tuner, and the losses in the coax, it didn't matter. They're in the log, and my faith in the near-magical tuning ability of the KAT50O remains undiminished. Dance with the girl you brung.
