Topband: propagation in reply of real antennas for topband comments

[Bryon Paul Veal NØAH]

No propagation? Just remote in where the signal you need is on ground wave! We don't need no stinking real men antennas....and apparently no one is at the switch of the ARRL DXCC desk to care.  They are too busy rearranging the chairs on the Titanic.  Not a popular view (I know) but I can assure you there is some reality with our times right now.....I think a lot of old timers hiding in the woodwork are trying get those topband DXCC numbers up in their sunset years bu any means, excuse the pun.

I find part of the problem to be many hams are willing to spend 10,000
dollars for a new
SDR radio,  and 50 cents on a decent antenna.  and wonder why they have
no propagation.
