TC, totally agree. Just look at our wantabe dictator hiding in his government paid "cottage" . Edit: Back to the original topic. EBay is not trustworthy. First and foremost, they want there money regardless of the transaction. If they keep your money for a few days, they make money off of that...

No tuner. It took what felt like forever to get it right, but dang does it work.

My 50 watt efhw has a FT114-43 with a 49:1 (21:3 wrap) 16gauge wire. Works well for 40-10 with the transformer at 72"-74". I got about 80 SOTA activations using it. Why 114-43, it was what I had at the time.
