Has anybody actually tried these things ?? He show flat swr on 10m.
I'm thinking if a bigger version is feasible.. like 10-20-30 gals. And maybe using
cu strap or cu tubing for the probes. With the amount of salt involved, I would
not expect any algae, nor freezing problems. The boiling point might also be raised
a little, don't have a clue by how much though. >1 gal.... glass is not feasible for the most
part, but all sorts of plastic, and polycarbonate containers are available, that will easily
handle 100+ deg C
later... Jim VE7RF
