How many hundreds of feet of wound 22 gauge wire does this

Hi Mark,

Perhaps for Arthur's twist on an old concept, but for his argument's
sake, he need only lift off the shield for his finals with their Plate
Tank circuit to achieve "equilibrium." And how effective does this
full wave radiator perform? Hertz walked away from it 120 years ago
when everyone thought 160M was useless SHF.

I would point out this observation of the Plate Tank is not original
to me. It was pointed out to Arthur, in eham (a forum of his choice
for comity and gentlemen's conversation) where he flipped the fellow
off and never looked back.
