Jim,
Did you build the isolation transformer exactly as described in K2AV's
article?? By exactly I mean using "teflon sleeved double polyimide insulated"
wire. I'm not planning on using it with more than 100W...

Gary, I use an inv L with K2AV FCP and matching balun. I purchased a RigExpert
AA-30 to tune out the reactance. It worked great. No tuning cap or inductor
were needed. It took just a couple cuts to dial it in. My L is now 126 ft
long with a 65 ft vertical leg standing a few feet off a tree trunk. The SWR is
now much sharper as it should be.
We live on a small lakefront lot and there was not sufficient room for a decent
TB ground radial system. Our location is semi-rural. So, man-made noise is
not a frequent issue. The FCP and trimming of the antenna has produced a major
improvement in the L’s performance. It enabled me to reach TB DXCC this past
season.
Best Luck
