Thank you kindly, sir, and for your help with this set.

I did that in the past with a set, but the long single-wire run from the 
front of the transmitter means a lot of stray RF, which is a problem
that must be addressed in these sets in any event.
Also- part of the matching network to transform the Lo-Z output
of the transmitter to a 50-Ohm line (an UNUN) is in the antenna switch,
so a short run from the transmitter is required. 
No burnt fingers so far ;-).
