Yep, no problem. Just rely on the tuner! Antenna radiates
all the power I send up there. Tough to fiddle with the
"real" resonant frequency with the antenna down. Have
tubular crank up, so no way to get "up there" to fiddle
later. Anyway, resonance and vswr have no relationship
to power radiation. Only rig output power depends upon
the match at the output of the rig port; and that is what
the tuner fixes. What the rig outputs, the antenna will
radiate, with no change in pattern.
