Stefan,
I had that in mind too (series LC circuit) but bandwidth might be an issue at
1.8-2.0MHz.

Hi Joe,
Maybe you can switch a series LC circuit which is resonant at 1850 kHz
parallel to the 0.2 mH coil? For example 200 pF/37uH. You must then
re-adjust the 0.2mH coil a bit. Can be calculated or done in an
experimental way ;-) Then it would run without a relay.
But do you really have 50 kV on that 200uH coil at 500 (137) kHz? That
would mean 80 (290) A antenna current...?
