Do you think my 40 meter dipole with a tuner can work well on 17?

Yes it will.

It will work but how well will be up to conditions.

Ah thanks. I though I'd have to make another antenna.

The wife is not at all feeling kindly towards me with all the clutter above.

I m am not a fan of tuners but they do work and as long as you are tuning a longer antenna you should be okay.

The ex had rabbits, everyone knows what rabbits do.
I told her my antennas were like rabbits
