Just and add-on about the xmtr - FYI
A single Epson programmable  oscillator chip( in the house ).

That is connected through a 3 stage toroidal (L/C) filter ( with >6dB  
loss ) directly to the
120 feet of RG58u and then the ground level vertical
hidden in the trees - actually suspended from a tree branch.

Just put a meter on the chip - and with Vcc = 5V the current is 4.5 mA
so dc input is 22.5 mW. Efficiency = output ?

The coax is with bnc connectors, so 120 feet + connectors + two  
splices  - probably
loses at least  another 3 dB.

There's sure not much left to be radiated.
