A shielded load it is not, probably pretty easy to work quite a few stations
with it. Maybe a short stealth antenna design is possible with it? Use some
2 inch PCV and caps for a container and several feet of wire and make a
broadband dipole. ;-)

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
