Tiny 5-Watt QRP Tuner Adds a Chance to Try 160 Meters

Japan’s QSY team has made its small antenna tuner even smaller and added support for trying the 160-meter band. It handles up to five watts and uses one tuning knob—a handy idea for hams who like to pack light.

There’s a catch: tuning depends on your wire length and setup, especially on 80 and 160 meters. The report lists 160–10 meter coverage, but also quotes the builder giving a 15-meter upper limit. Check those limits before planning your antenna.
