I am sure that someone with a short feedline has forced power into one somehow using a tuner and it was something like a rotatable dipole. But you could only run low power. High power and that kind of swr would blow up/burn out something somewhere. You can also use a tuner and load up bed springs, window screens, a floor lamp, or a washing machine and actually work people (all of which we did in my youth using 10m and a tuner). Basically follow the MFR's specs. If it doesn't list WARC bands then don't bother. I assume you also want some reasonable performance. ----- Original Message ----- From: <thaxton@ptgroup.com> To: "Force12 Reflector" <Force12Talk@qth.com> Sent: Saturday, June 22, 2002 1:27 AM Subject: [Force 12 Talk] XR dilemma > Greetings.... > > Getting my first tower....:) I'm debating which XR to put on top > of it.
