Two questions:

I built a W5JAY marker generator and it works fine;
however, the signal can only be heard if I disconnect my rig's antenna and move the marker's "antenna" against the rig's antenna connector. Only when I stick the marker's antenna into the rig do I get an adaquate and usable signal strength. Any suggestions as to how to increase the strength of the signal?

Secondly, I'd like to build the marker into one of my QRP rigs. Can I connect the marker to the rig's antenna connector? If so, should I use, and what size, a coupling capacitor?
