fm antenna test

Concerning fm transmitters.  I tried the antenna, and I'm not impressed. 
It is an el bow b n c with a loaded duck on it.  I got a preggy hot rf 
burn off of the metal part below the duck.  Also after being on a couple 
hours, the coil was warm to the touch, so power lost there.  I'm going to 
figure out how to build some kind of outside antenna.
