On the 540 foot loop I made for field day I used 25 foot of ladder
line from the tuner to the wire for my loop,,,,was 25 foot enough?
GOT ME but it worked well and I used it on several bands that day. I
only used 25 foot because I mounted the FC-40 on the tree next to my
tent and 25 foot was all the higher I could get the loop,,,,well I
was lazy I could have got it higher but ,,,well we all know how hot
the summer was here in the midwest this year,,,,I took what I could
get =)

yes, I just conected the loop to the two connectors. I asked Yaesu
about using the tuner on balanced and unbalanced lines and they
said
it should be fine. It worked well except for the QSB which I
believe
came from excessive SWR.

One other question: Jon, how did you terminate the loop? Just
connect
it to the ground terminal of the FC-40, or what? Yes, I'm a
newbbie
to the world of tuners and wire antennas. Thanks.
