The parts came in. A 300 watt 800 ohm termination and a 1 KW
16:1 balun.

Without any antenna tuner, the as measured SWR is at or below
2:1 to one and in some cases 1.5:1.

This is on all bands from 1.8 MHz to 30 MHz.

This is well within the range of "ok" as is and the internal
antenna tuners make quick work of it.
