​Why wouldn't the antenna radiate it? Seems to me if you can deliver power
then what's not being radiated as heat would be radiated as RF. I have
weird ideas about how all this works.

One thing I think would be great to have, especially built in as part of an
antenna tuner, is a switchable BALUN. When someone needs to throw up random
antennas it would be handy to be able to just switch in the appropriate
ratio. Can a BALUN be tapped maybe? It seems it would extend the range of
internally antenna tuners also. I should know this stuff. But I don't.
