[TowerTalk] Cebik

[jim Jarvis]

Ken,

First, my thanks for reminding me that I am sometimes over-quick to  
react to things.
Secondly, and more importantly, for causing me to re-connect with  
LB's writings.

Many of the discussion topics that show up here have been well  
treated by LB,
in both literate and academically solid fashion.    I am now (again)  
registered with
the site.

For the record, registration was absolutely painless.   Got a  
response with password
within a minute,  and verified that the path suggested by W7SG is  
indeed valid.
Appologies for suggesting otherwise.

It was my privilege to have shared my IEEE proceedings of the Antenna
and Propagation Society with LB, in the last year of his life.   He  
had dropped his IEEE
membership, after his retirement, and seemed very subdued, after his  
wife died.

Reading the compendium of Cebik's antenna articles is something  like  
potato chips.
You can't just read one,  the titles are too intriguing.

NOW... somewhere in his stuff is an article about a wire antenna with  
the feedpoint
up in the air.   Something like a top-fed inverted L.    Which may be  
a useful alternative
for the chap looking for a good stealth antenna.    Getting the  
feedpoint in the air is
a lot better than having it at ground level.  I haven't found the  
article yet, but will post
it when I do.
