He switches and then he's Golden! with fond, fond memories posted
below.

Cecil didn't "switch" anything,

The hell he didn't. He resigned his NCI membership.

Really? I obviously missed that one. Good for him.

After the rules changed, he said that reduction to 5 wpm for all classes was
enough. He resigned his membership in NCI and soon after reduced his
participation here. He's still around in rraa but not nearly as much as before.

a bunch of us PCTAs worked Cecil, a
NCTA and a good time was had by all, nothing more, nothing less Burke.
Better luck the next time you you try to twist documented reality by
lying about it.

No lie. He became a Code Exam Advocate after you guys dogged him for
years.

Nah, you know full well that Cecil dogging-proof Burke. If the results
of that nite had anything to do with his change in thinking, which I
seriously doubt, it was because us coders did real ham radio with him
and not your "RRAP is my ham radio" nonsense.

Who knows? Cecil's certainly the kind of guy who would argue for something just
to argue. He said so himself.

Point is, he did not change his views because anybody "dogged" him. He doesn't
work that way.

You guys dogged the poor ******* so much that he risked his property
and his life to prove that he was Morse Worthy.

You guys ought to be proud.

Actually yes we are.

Why am I not suprised?

Sorry you weren't there to join that exercise

No you're not.

Congratulations Burke, you finally got something right.

All were invited. Some of us showed up. And some of us have worked since.

Remember that FD when you worked AC6XG on 20 CW?

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?

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??

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.

And it drops straight down to the tuner, huh?

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

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

**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?**

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. That
ain't gonna happen agn on my part. At which point you finally decided
an L wouldn't be a solution for you. 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. Ed asked you what your
installation conditions were but you ignored his offer and went back
to mindlessly hammering yer keyboard here instead.

You missed the point, Mr. Kelly.

The whole antenna discussion was a classic example of the N0IMD shaggy dog
discussion method.

This method consists of Mr. Burke telling us something that appears simple,
such as his antenna dilemma. Others offer solutions, he gives reasons why those
solutions won't work. This is done one little piece of info at a time, using up
lots of time and bandwidth.

I did a search back in that exchange and found a couple of interesting end-fed
antennas. Posted all sorts of info here. One design used coax and no tuner to
end-feed a wire - very interesting design. But none of them were suitable,
according to Mr. Burke. I soon realized that he could have done the search
himself, and found a workable design - if he was really interested in putting
up an antenna.

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

So you get all fired up - for what?

Let me read a little further and see what else you don't get.

We're still waiting . . .

Why do the other people on here put up with your ****ty little answers?

See? *Your* information is "****ty little answers" but *his* lack of
research and information is OK. Now *you're* the bad guy, because you
can't solve his problem by remote control, given only inadequate information.

For the same reasons they have no choice but to put up with your
hopeless lack of mental horspower and/or the most fundamental
technical smarts. Which you compulsively display in gross volumes.

Brian, have a nice life.

Been there, done that, great life this, HF antennas being the
no-brainers that they are.

Oh, and by the way: I had a 135' L up for decades. 110ft x 50ft urban
lot. Tuner was a couple feet above grade in the back yard. Could get a
1:1 match outta the thing on any freq between around 3 to maybe 15 Mhz
by simply twisting a turns counter in the shack. Glomed 40% of my
5BDXCC with that inverted L. Not a tree in sight either.

During those decades my three daughters arrived and grew up with that
tuner in their back yard. The yard was kid magnet, pool, monster
homebrewed swingset, homebrewed 8' x 16' sandbox. There were times
when I counted 15 and more of the 2-10 year old set going at it only a
few feet from the tuner.

I'd "kid proofed" the tuner. Involved some intelligent design. That
drops you outta any further discourse on the matter. Stick to rubber
duckies Burke, everything else is over your head. What little there is
of it.

73, Brian

You can wriggle and you can squirm Burke but you can't help hanging
yourself by your own petard, you were born to shoot both of your feet
as often as you can in public. That's just the way you are.

All depends what you think the goal is. You're thinking the goal is to put up
an antenna. It's not.
