Hi Tom,

If the mood strikes me, I will see how much effort it takes to blow
away his "efficient" antenna. Seeing how he has no answers for its
construction, I can easily impose my own choices like an high E piano
string radiator mid loaded with a squirrel cage over a radial field of
rusting springs from a burnt-out mattress. There should be room for
improvement over that using a coat hanger with distributed loads of
barn nails over the roof of a 1948 Hudson.

I would prefer a radiator made from half inch PVC filled with a dilute
sodium chloride solution. If you put a valve at the bottom, it's a snap
to adjust resonance.
