Jim,

I thought about doing it that way, but decided not to when I realized that I 
needed my dummy load while tuning up my amplifier.  I still haven't figured 
out a good use for that second antenna jack, and now I've got a tuner that 
also has two antenna jacks.  All this with only one antenna.

Steve
