Hi John,

Coax, shmoax. Feedline shmeedline.  This is all getting a bit circular :-)
These are all the reasons why Charles posted his question about wanting a
small single transistor to connect to his EH antenna without any feedline.

He and I are of the same mind on this. I've got a K1 I want to connect up
but no EH antenna..He has, I think got an antenna but no small tx. Neither
of us want to use feedline.

Perhaps we should meet somewhere in the middle and hook up my K1. Should be
a square in the middle of the atlantic that is rare enough to attract some
interest. I wonder if my K1 floats?

Regards,

Tony
