Paul, Paul, and all the others who would like a "Wires only category" or the "all antennas must be at my house" category.

How about do it "unofficial" -- somebody volunteer to keep a list of who is in that category, and e-mail the list to the members.  If the volunteer gets way ambitious he/she could collect the scores and e-mail those, too.  An you could solve the "is it okay to have a vertical/rhombic/four-square" issue by having everybody on the list provide a description of her/his antenna(s).  Then everybody could campare her/his own performance to that of all the statrions whom she/he judges to have equally bad antennas.

Now, having solved that burning issue, let's get on to something more important:  Why is MY wire antenna performing so much worse than your wire antenna?  Oops, sorry!  Wrong reflector.  CU on TT.
