At the shack my C31XR is 4:1 at 18 MHz!

Course I have 1.25 inch hardline going up there, and it's over a 300'
run, so who knows what impedance transformation is at work, my place
OR yours.

I REALLY would hesitate to tell anyone that a C31 is going to work at
18 Mhz.

Again, it was ***NOT*** designed to work there.
