[Harc] Updates and next question

[JAMES FALLS]

I’m a fan of versatile tuners. Put up whatever wire you can, as long and as high as you can, feed it with window line, to minimize losses, and let the tuner do the work. The output of my tuner has a 4:1 matching transformer so the tuner and window line work better together. 

As always: my $0.02 worth. And “Your Mileage May Vary” ����

Cheers and enjoy HF. Lots of modes and activities to keep your interest. 

Cheers!

I'd like to give DXing a try, and maybe even check out some CW.  So I don't know if I should get an "all-band" antenna, or a few different antennas, or which type of antenna e.g. directional, dipole, etc.
