Ooops.  I must apologise for my mistake:  I've read the article in more
detail and Lloyd is not feeding a small antenna, he is using the "feeder" as
the antenna by deliberately unbalancing it with a terminal unit to obtain
maximum current at the far end of the feeder.  Presumably this would then be
elevated to a convenient point for maximum effect.
