i went back and looked a little closer this time and saw what i was
looking for. you are right tim, jay is a respected poster to this board.
dont know where the 12 million cbers number came from but its irrelevant.



That number came from Jay, and it is very relevant because it is one of several
claims he has made, yet refuses to back up with facts under the excuse that they
are 'marketing secrets'. I'm can't say that his antennas are junk -- they might
be outstanding antennas, but since I have never seen or tested one I can't say
one way or the other. What I -can- say is that when it comes to marketing, Jay's
"facts" leave a lot to be desired.


fair enough. how do you trust the manufacturers claims for the ant's you
bought?


I don't. Fact is, no antenna manufacturer can make a definitive claim as to an
antenna's performance in every given installation (execpt maybe for dishes). If
it's a full-sized 1/4-wave ground-plane vertical, chances are it will perform no
better than any other 1/4-wave ground-plane vertical -regardless- of who made
it. Same with 5/8-wave verticals. If you can build one yourself from scratch it
will probably perform just as well as one made by Jay or any other manufacturer.


As for being a "respected poster to this board", I guess that depends on your
point of view. He seems to be well-respected by the keyclowns since he promotes
illegal operation. OTOH, he comes across with an attitude haughtier than my own,
even to the point of appointing himself as the newsgroup's polite-police. And I
won't even go into the technical discussions except to say that for a person who
purports himself to be knowledgable about radio and electronics, he lacks much
of the theory and experience one would expect such an 'expert' to have.

he is an antenna manufacturer. nothing to do with moded radio's.


Then the archives are filled with a whole lot of forgeries of Jay.


how do you know what his radio pedigree is? for that matter how does one
know what your experience is other than your claims? works both ways.


The difference is that I back up my technical opinions with logic, facts and
authoritative references. Very few people in this group, regardless of
'pedigree', Jay included, have ever been able to make such a claim.
