Why can't you just hook up 120 volts AC as your power source instead of that
puny little 12 volts DC thing. Not only would you get 10 times the voltage which
according to Ohm's Law gives you 100 times the power (thus, legal limit plus) but
you also are using 60 Hz AC. Thus, you already have a kick start on that RF
frequency. Why start out at DC when you can do so much better with AC.
