Paul, I hope you're enjoying the good weather while it's still summer! I imagine the days and nights are getting cooler already and soon, that beautiful stretch of Yukon will be frozen.

I'm happy to see you're employing the ZM-2 tuner; it's an effective little antenna manual tuner and doesn't need a power source. Plus, if you ever get your ham radio license, you can use it in the field with QRP equipment. You've got a great setup there with quality components!
