Yes, Doublet seems really interesting antenna. I am still amazed how the wire feeder coming into the shack to be connected to ATU, doesn't radiate.

It must be special ATU, as said, the Zmatch? or Transmatch atu?

I would love to try it out, but will need the ATU. My CAPCO SPC300 has only coaxial feed. Just one input - this must be the very earliest model. Built like a tank, and weighs tons.
