What is the cost?
How does it compare to the screwdriver type ( continuously, remotely
controled inductor)?
The screwdriver appears to not need so many radials as it is used mainly
mobile, is this so?
I think that the main comparison should be, power into antenna system vs
power at a receiving antenna (same Rx)
