[Antennas] antenna ends

[rbethman]

Well, I haven't noticed any "significant" problems with only bending and 
twisting the ends around.

I have even gone so far as to just let the excess hang straight down, 
(vertical), and run with it.

Lord only knows how many bypass capacitors I've put on the phone line!

A FULL KW AM from a BC-610 can definitely cause RFI problems!
