And if I might add... I would run a circulator and harmonic filter on
this one, especially if you run a solid state PA.

Gain is also a function of frequency. You can suffer the loss in a matching
network, but your antenna gain will be lower, too. I wouldn't recommend it
unless you have no other choice.

I acquired a 2 bay, 6 meter Sinclair antenna at our main
repeater site. It was tuned for 45 Mhz and that was verified
by checking the return loss. At my 6 meter repeater output,
the return loss is about -10 db (a little over 2:1 SWR).
Is it practical to use a tuner to bring it down to the 1.5:1
range or less? I'm worried that the tuner will be too sharp
to let the RX pass.
Any recommendations?
