Hi Rob,
    Well, I was blessed with getting an auto tuner that works pretty well. I 
was trying to use it on 80 meters. So, that is a major test for about any 
tuner.
    One antenna style you may wish to try is the mobile antenna on a t mag 
mount. You will need a counterpoise with it. However, it may give you the 
best range in the smallest package.
    O, I almost forgot, the higher in frequency you go, the better small 
antennas like mobiles perform.

God bless,
Mark
