Why not ?  Bellyaching is hardly good form.

So was some Wicked Wanda type making you tune in to the Tom and Rich show 
?

-  I can not support the Rauchian theory that Ni-Cr alloy is a conductor 
whose AC resistance decreases as frequency decreases, so therefore it 
will increase instead of decrease the Q of a VHF circuit.  As most 
amplifier builders (and even some 11m amp builders) realize, this is 
contrary to the way skin-effect works -- i.e., as frequency increases, 
conductivity decreases.  //   Nor can I support Rauch's position that 
dipmeters are not trustworthy.  //  Another problem is Rauch's theory 
that AC circuit analysis does Not apply to VHF parasitic suppressors.  
All of these items need to be discussed publically lest we abandon AC 
circuit analysis and regress to casting about chicken bones to design RF 
amplifiers. 

>Why don't you take your personal battles to private emailing???  

So killfile us.  Maybe a little Midol ® could ease the pain for some of 
the more sensitive dudes on AMPS ?  It is my opinion that a discussion 
without friction is a sure cure for insomnia.

Mr. Rauch and I agree on some things.  Miraculous compact antennas is one 
area.  MPD (multiple personality disorder) is another.

Tnx.  You're welcome.  You should thank the ARRL as well.   If *QST* 
Editor Mark Wilson had not written two things about me that were not true 
in the February, 1996 *QST*, my Web site would never have happened.  
Thanks, Mark.
