## How did u pull that off ?? Even if the 2nd xcvr/rx had its own ant, the 2nd xcvr/rx would have its
front end burnt to a crisp. Back in 1976, I smoked the front end of a tube RX...with tube RX fed to a 75m vert.
Meanwhile, coughed into Vox on 1st radio..with 2 kw pep into an inverted vee ....and fried the front end of 2nd rx... in 1-2 secs.
Ants were aprx 80 feet apart.
## what am I missing here ?
