[Elecraft] Pwr<>Antenna

[Fred Jensen]

50 watts from a Harvey-Wells TBS50 Bandmaster to a Webster Band Spanner 
in a 1953 Plymouth powered by a PE-103 dynamotor caused enough corona on 
10m for me that on a dark night parked at the observatory in Griffith 
Park, I attracted the attention of several cops with "flames" leaping 
from my antenna.  First and only time since I've been approached by a 
cop with his gun drawn.
