I agree with your first answerer to a point. I suggest building an antenna of your own. I think that the transmission will be sharply diminished with the antenna you have, because the SWR would be so high.
Most of the solid state radios will reduce power to protect the finals when presented with a high SWR at the antenna.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
