This is nothing new as I built a 2 watt transmiter 14 years ago inside of a
plastic medcine bottle,screwed it right to the apex of the antenna and keyed
the 2AMP battery.
It was rock bound on 7.041.
The RX was a Drake 2-B.
The antenna for the Drake 2-B was a random wire.
I operated this station for 2 years with no problems.
Thats what I like about CW mode of communications.
It's cheap and you can work the world on just a couple of watts.
