Hi Paul, Lowfers,

I agree with Mike WE0H about a bleeder resistor or choke to
get rid of any charge that builds up on the antenna.  My setup
has the xmitter link-coupled to the bottom end of the loading-
variometer coil, with no direct connection.  Knock on wood,
I've had no troubles with blown finals.  The antenna is D.C.
grounded via the load/vari, and in addition to that I've put a
spark plug connected between antenna and ground.
