[TowerTalk] Re: TH7 Traps

[Jim White, K4OJ]

NOPE

Having read the tribander report and seen the presentation on how it was 
done I would have to say that when n3drk wrote:

"Don't get rid of the TH7 it is one of the best antennas out there even
with all the hype of the so called unscientific tribander report."

IS BLATANTLY DAMNING A VERY WELL DONE EFFORT!

What basis do you have to call the report unscientific?

Seeing as one of the guys who performed these tests was a former 
employee of the TH7's designer I would have to say this one (accusation) 
just don't hold water!  And, the other guy is without doubt one of the 
brightest individuals I have ever met!!!!!

Kinda suspect that they will let you know their feelings on your 
statement...

73,
