         In a word--NO.  When you fuse both sides of the line, you're very 
likely to blow the neutral
fuse, and leave the hot one intact.  With your open neutral, you still give 
your transmitter the path
back to the neutral in the service panel because all service equipment has 
the neutral bonded to the
ground conductor.  THAT gives you a wonderful shock hazard, without having 
the transmitter working,
which is why it is a VIOLATION of the NEC.  Not smart or safe.


Thanks!!
