Ask Brian/W3RV about his inverted "L." It's meant for absolutely
every situation and every band. You just can't miss with his antenna.

Note how Mr. Burke misremembers what was written, and distorts the
meaning.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. "Mr. Burke" remembers the gist of the alleged
"conversation" very well...as did I...as did most readers. :-)

Notice how "Mr. Miccolis" misremembers and distorts all the
invective and general tuff-guy tawk used by "Mr. Kelly."

That, according to "Mr. Miccolis" must be "civil discourse." :-)

Like it or no, "Mr. Miccolis," there is bound to be some sarcastic
return to "Mr. Kelly's" more-so sarcastic commentary. Try to
understand that.

There's no reason to stay off of 160.

W3RV has helped me with many antenna projects. He has expertise ranging
from
large Yagis to simple wire antennas.

The implementation of practical HF antennas for amateur radio is about
95%
mechanical engineering and 5% electrical engineering.

I don't think it's that big an imbalance but I agree in principle, the
physical design and execution aspects of antenna apparatus within ham
radio do tend to fall more into M.E. country than they do into E.E.
country.

Point is, the main problems are mechanical. As in where does it go,
how do I attach it to the house, where do I get the components without
paying big bucks. All of which can be answered with some thought,
knolwedge and experience.

Acknowledged. However, that does not forgive "Mr. Kelly's"
blatant disregard of "civil discourse" by using denigrating and
insulting words used in a poor imitation of the Soprano's TV
show dialogue.

But of course to get anyone's help, it pays to ask in a nice way and
actually listen to/read the information provided.

Time/date/freq pse?

You forgot "mode?"

When I launched the challenge somewhere around here a couple days ago
I stated that it would be most convenient for me to latch up with
Weenie Willy on 20 or 40 ssb. I knew there was no point to even
thinking about a CW contact. "Do not feed the animals" . . . 'druther
let him make an ass of himself again with his only mode.

Always offer a choice.

Use of "Weenie Willy" and "do not feed the animals" is "civil
discourse?

Sorry, that's just the kind of dialogue demanded by the PCTA extras
who think they are the hots of radio. Not to mention all others being
just "drudges" in the words of the elitist aristocrats of hum radio.

QSL?

Don't hold yer breath

Believe me I haven't.

The point here is that, when directly asked, ol' Cecil made good. He
said he was an antenna guru and "CW expert" (yes, he said he was a "CW
expert") and that Morse was his "favorite fun mode". So when somebody
asked for a sked, he was there. No excuses or shaggy-dog stories, he
showed up with a good signal and worked everybody who could hear him.
Stand-up guy.

So, it didn't matter that others (3 years ago) might have had free-time
off scheduling problems?

Only the "stand-up guys" showed up? All others are "drudges" who
aren't worth anything and didn't show up?

My, my, aren't you condescending to earth people?

As predicted, Mr. Burke refuses your request, and tries to make it
look like you are the bad guy.

"Request?!?"

That was no "request." It was a simple school-yard challenge.
Kid stuff. Unseemly for anyone long into adulthood.

Apparently that's what the PCTA think is "right" for modern ham
radio - playing kiddie games of fighting challenges in the school
yard to "demonstrate their strength/superiority?"

Actually, "Mr. Miccolis" comments look more like some modern-
day "'Hood" puffery about "stand-up guys" who "make 'requests'".

As usual, all NCTA are depicted by the PCTA extras as lesser
human beings unfit to associate with Their Highnesses. yawn
