If I lived on a farm without neighbors, I would have nothing but monoband
antennas, all with a perfect match at the antenna.  Gotta win the lottery
first before I can realize that.

How many perfectly matched monoband antenna systems can be built for the price of a high power do-it-all tuner?

More basically, how many hams seek out perfectly unmatched multiband antenna systrems? Most of the multiband antenna systems on the market seem to offer reaonably good matches to 50 ohm coax.

Lastly, I am pretty sure that internal tuners were not designed (or ever will be designed) to allow one to use old bedsprings for an antenna or load up aunt Thelmas lawn furniture.
