I think that they should leave it just as it is. It is terrific. After =
50 years and a lot of antennas, I know and I don't have a warm fuzzy =
feeling either. I am just breaking pile-ups regularly, like never before =
and getting unsolicited reports of 'BIG' signal and that on ALL the =
upper 5 HF bands. I don't need to do detailed pattern analyses on that. =
Maybe it is just MAGIC! I don't care.
