There’s the problem, “properly engineered”.

We hope percentage of stupid in ham radio is less the the rest of society, but…..

The local with a tribander on 50’ of Rohn 25, with no guys. It would have done his neighbor’s house and car. He did take it down, after two years.

“You have to use an antenna tuner, on six meters, to get the SWR out of the antenna."

The guy giving s-meter reports to everyone he works… on the repeater.

Sorry for starting the list.
