I did make a contact from N Ohio to Idaho with reptty good results
running around 35W on 40 meter the other night. Thanks for the input
though!!!


Did you get your problem solved? A few questions here. Where is the balun
located, and what type is it?

Internal tuners tend to correct up to only 3:1 or so. There is a good
chance that you will still need an outboard tuner. Something like a MFJ 949
would probably do the. If you do use that, you can probably take the balun
of the radio end, (if that is where it is at) and run the ladder line
directly to the tuner.
