My observations on Tom, W8Ji`s antics are similar to Yuri`s. Too bad
because Tom has much to offer. We all make mistakes, and for everyone`s
benefit we should admit we are wrong when it happens.

What did he say that was wrong ?
What book this time are you quoting from?
What book states that you are correct in your own analysis?
We all know that you have some sort of connection with Radio Free Europe so
how did your antics prove
that Tom is in error? Yes Tom and others including myself can be
fraustrating but is that justification for dragging him thru the mud? Your
post sounds like a "swift boat"
advertisement so maybe some of it will stick

The loss from an r-f conductor near the earth is likely more from
displacement (dielectric) loss than conductor conductivity. At Radio
Free Europe we found it more economical to build a kneehigh 2-wire
600-ohm transmission line of Copperweld than to build a stainless steel
dissipation lline high above the ground to dissipate 50 KW. It worked
very well but it was a collision hazard.
