Replacing the antenna was a no-no.  ESPECIALLY replacing the antenna with
one longer than 45 feet (actually, 15 meters).

And now you want to add a footwarmer to it.

There's a reason those radios have limited range--they're *supposed* to.
What will nearby people who are trying to use their radios do when you've
begun to block them out with high power?  Well, they could put on an 
amplifier...
