Superior to all!

If God spoke to me via radio, he'd use this one!

Glory!

That fine rig - for a power boat! The only thing remotely suitable to
sailing
is a spark gap rig.


Some of the first spark systems in England could go 6 miles.

The greatest range I ever heard of using lightning as the spark and a
passive receiver (no amplification whatsoever) was two times around the
earth. Tesla did this in the 1890's.
