This was recently posted on the internet by one of hamdom’s self appointed
experts:
“The Joe Hams of this world . . . where currently 60% of them seem to be
quite happy with an EFHW antenna, 30% with an EFRW (Random Wire) antenna, and
10% understand antenna technology.”
Is this anywhere near accurate?
Could it possibly be so?
Are 60% of the 779,545 US hams (467,727) and 60% of the 3.345 million
World-wide hams (2 million) really “happy with” or “using” an EFHW?
Or another 30% (233,863 in the US and 1 million World-wide ) “happy with” or
“using” an end-fed random wire?
That leaves only 334,569 who understand antenna technology!
Even with a ballot with room for write-in candidates!!
I must have missed the survey, and certainly wouldn’t have answered “yes” to
the “are you happy with an end-fed half wave or random wire.”
Comments?
