[BC] Part 15 LPAM Question?

But in reality, conductors such as the building frame and the nice wide 
strap connected to the tx chassis by a low-Z path will become part of the 
Part 15 AM radiator length along with the 102" whip, and likely will 
radiate more field than the whip, itself.

So this system _would_ have a functional 25 foot ground lead, even if that 
isn't recognized at first.
