Wonder why all the world's militarys don't run these amazing Outbacker
home-made-lookin' antennas?
Hell, I'm amazed Radio Moscow isn't using one!
Well, consider what a nuclear EMP would do to cheap solid state AE
voltage and current sensing circuitry. The military uses auto
bandswitched tapped coil selectors to tune the antenna stump, and
hang the mismatch, it's a vacuum tube output and rf amp reciever
world, laddy, when the nukes are going tactical.
Your car will die, your house will be dark, but the troops will
still be able to find the coffee truck.
You will be out in your driveway trying to fit your standby / backup
carurettor, distributor, points and coil, right? Don't forget to
stock up on duct tape and a year's supply of milled flour and
strawberry jam.
