Roy, you said:
<"Whaaat??? Where did that 1.7 ohm figure come from....space?">
Three cheers for you!!! And for Jeff! I was beginning to think that
everyone was joining in a conspiracy of silence so that if a lot of people
would
buy into the baseless prattle that has been going on for months, there
would be less QRM on the band. If we can get lots more stations to replace
their radials with a folded counterpoise, for instance, the level of
competition will drop off significantly.
For such a high degree of pontification to exist, one would expect the
pontificators to have some understanding of how an antenna works. There has
been little indication of that during this latest thread of nattering.
My advice to myself is follow a couple simple precepts. First, only take
financial advice from rich people. Second, only take antenna advice from
people with very loud signals. One of my friends always reminds me "Do not
argue with an idiot... he will drag you down to his level and beat you with
experience."
73, Barry
