I was discussing the construction of a screw driver antenna, and an off hand
remark was made by a fellow ham. "Wind the loading coil 8 turns per inch
for local and 10 to 11 1/2 turns per inch for DX as the angle of radiation
changes"

Can someone explain this to me?



1. Depends which off hand.

2. Missing few turns in the cranium.

3. Must be that last 1/2 turn that lures the DX.

4. Effect of CB on ham brains.

5. That's nothing, on eHam.net one m0ron is trying to stir up the pot with
drive to "legalize" the music and broadcasting on ham bands. Can you picture
500 K1MANs playing ethnic music between 7200 - 7300? Far out man!

6. Stupid is what stupid does?

7. Fuggetaboutit.

8. Merry Christmas to all!
