YOU are a scholar and a gentleman, and a great resource when the subject is amplifiers, for sure.

I was a young engineer back about 1971-72 at Bell Labs, Whippany.  (W2TW).  Jerry came to a ham club
meeting once at noontime and gave a talk about his short verticals.  He later published his experiments
in QST.  As I remember, a big problem he had was how to feed power into such a low Z.  So he
began investigating toroid transformers.  He lived about 10 miles from me, and his little verticals
sure laid down a big signal out my way.
He may have been a director (a big position) but when he got with his ham buddies he was just
one of us.
