Burke but we understand, you can't put up HF antennas because you have
kids. Slick excuse that one is, quite creative, blame your lack of
performance on yer kids.

Where did that come from? You must be losing your mental faculties.

Right here Burke.

Ooops. It's for a ground mounted antenna with radials.

It isn't "ground mounted" it's FED at ground level.

How is it supported?
----------------------------

Notice that I'm not interested in an antenna that is ground mounted.

----------------------------
The 1/4 WL flattop is supported, typically, between two trees. The 1/4
vertical portion drops straight down the tuner from one end of the
flattop. Do you have ANY literature on ham antennas??

So your tuner is just hanging by the vertical part of your inverted
"L," blowing in the wind?

Brian, you must still be thinking that I live in your house in Philadelphia.
I don't have trees in my yard. Its newer construction with a few ornamental
trees. But I mwentioned that already.

Didn't I mention that already?

And it drops straight down to the tuner, huh?

I still think you have something mounted to the ground within reach of
small children. Bad dad.

Didn't I tell you that I have small children and don't want a ground mounted
antenna? (YES)

Yes.

-----------------------

**There it is Burke. Blaming your little kids for not being able to
get on the air.**

Blaming? You're a fool. I safeguard my children.

You probably had yours climbing the two trees that supported your
inverted "L." I said that I didn't have two trees, didn't have one
tree, and that my house has aluminum siding and I didn't want a wire
radiator running up the side of my house against the metal siding. I
didn't want a ground mounted antenna where the kids could touch it.

I did say that I wanted an end-fed that I could mount one end to
my chimney, and the other end to my back fence,

But no, you kept insisting that your inverted "L" was my answer even
though I said it wasn't.

My endfed works just fine - thanks for all of your advice and help.
;^)

----------------------
**By the way, did you take yer kids to T5 and couldn't put up an
antenna there either? ? Izzat why nobody ever worked NoMind/T5?**

You may be on to something there. I didn't install the antenna that I
used in Somalia. Hi, hi!

And you're welcome to take your children on a tour of wunnerful,
sunny, Somalia anytime you feel like endangering them more.

Ya flaming nitwit, you had no clue what an inverted L is until myself
and others patiently and labororiously explained it to you over many
early posts in this thread before you finally got the drift.

I was introduced to the inverted L for 160/80 meter use by Steve Sears
in Illinois. He had the power company install some extra poles in his
yard to support it. My yard doesn't have power poles either, we have
underground utilities.

The drift that didn't get gotten was that I didn't want your inverted
L antenna and but you kept pushing it on me.

You just didn't get it then, and still don't get it now.

That
ain't gonna happen agn on my part.

Oh Thank GOD!

At which point you finally decided
an L wouldn't be a solution for you.

Hi, hi! You finally got it!!!

A day late and an insulator short.

If you had half a brain you would
have posted a request for advice on antennas at the outset and
provided the specific installation limitations you have which you
eventually revealed late in this idiotic game.

Wrong. In your typical blowhardt fashion, you busted onto the scene
with all the advice that I didn't need or want. It just didn't fit my
circumstances. But you knew better and kept hammering on and on and
on.

Ed asked you what your
installation conditions were but you ignored his offer and went back
to mindlessly hammering yer keyboard here instead.

Poor Ed. He got ignored.

But of course as we all know you don't have half a brain

Correct. I have a whole one.

so
predictably your history has repeated itself. Somebody gotta be the
dunce around here so I guess you'll hafta do until Kim "un-retires"
from RRAP agn.

More Extra civil discourse?

Have a nice life.
