[RTTY] 2004 RTTY Roundup -lets stir the pot again!

[Jerry Flanders]

The robot snipped out the middle, so I try again:
====================================

I have a suggestion:

...how's about an article on how easily the ops WITH YAGIS AND TOWERS blow away
the competition.. Look at a couple of years worth of contest scores and
compare the highest BEAM ANTENNA scores to the highest WIRE DIPOLES scores 
(in high and
low power categories) to show that the best BEAM ANTENNA scores average 
1/4th to
1/3rd higher than the best WIRE DIPOLE scores; that BEAM ANTENNAS provides 
a greater
advantage than by moving up to the High Power category (compare WIRE DIPOLE
high power to BEAM ANTENNA low power scores which shows that BEAM ANTENNA 
LP wins over
WIRE DIPOLE HP almost every time); and, why contest committees, led by the
ARRL, continue to refuse to acknowledge the BEAM ANTENNA advantage, including
published admissions by top BEAM ANTENNA ops that it is a fantastic, though
somewhat complicated and costly advantage to obtain.
