I suggest you join both posts together, otherwise the reactance of the T1 secondary (hi-Z side of reverse direction xfmr) will be in series with the beverage if primary disconnected. Shorting or loading T1 primary (low-z coax side) will also work, enabling you to use just one post, but easier just to short the two posts together for the single wire. 73 John _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
