You seem to have a problem with my name...

Would what I say have more importance to you if my name were "George Walker
Bush?" How about "Princess Dianna?", "Lord Balder Wash?" How about an
alcoholic PhD. down on his luck--Edward Noble, PhD., in the gutter?

Is a rose not still a rose by any other name? Is logic not still the same
logic no matter who speaks it?



I have hoisted the pirate's flag in rebellion of fools who place importance
on bloodline, circumstance of life or the self-importance of their being
or--even for the sake of control alone--BUCKO!

However, instead of a skull and bones, the symbol on my banner looks
surprisingly like--JOHN SMITH!!! (who was that masked man anyway? (hey, that
voice sounded like Tonto!)--well, maybe it looks even a bit like Alfred E.
Newman!

I'll tell ya what, pick a noble sounding name, the sound of which inspires
shock and awe in those who fall victim to my speech--I'll change my gmail
account for you....)



You have already tempted me to replace my Russian made "California Kilowatt"
(well, 5.5 KW--but it is hard to get true linear performance at reduced
input power and drive grin) and "keenwood", with a 6X2 push pull in
parallel, 1500w+ Chicken Band linear! And, that 225 amp 13.8 v power supply
gets hot when I just think about a key down! (the sound of all those cooling
fans are annoying, don't cha think?) Somewhere in the attic is an old
Johnson 11 meter with increased output to drive the 1500!!! I can hear the
"Anyone got a Radio Check", "Break channel 19", "10-4 GOOD BUDDY",
"AUUDDDDIIIIIOOOOO!" and "What's up ahead southbound?" coming off the 11
meter band now!--it brings a tear to my eye I tell ya, the memories.... and
the ham bashing sessions we used to engage in---felonious I tell ya!

My only fear is the feds detecting me by the strange purplish glow emanating
from my antenna, while I kick back and shoot skip--sipping a Corona...

But then, I am NOT normal--I like to have my bit of fun...or, at least I did
in the past...



If your test of intellect is whether one agrees with you or not--or, whether
someone plays your game of insane obfuscation--or whether one withholds
his/her identity for protection from the insane (however, I did just indulge
you a bit, didn't I?), or whether one "used to be"/"still is" a part-time
"Chicken Bander"--I have failed, be prepared for the masses which will
follow...



Regards

Hey, just how many of those multiple personalities do you have? But, only

Hi Brett,

How many screen names do you have? Is your serial multiple
personality somehow better than what you see as parallel multiple
personality? What about false personality? What you perceive as a
talent in yourself is projected to be the mark of a fool upon another.
In this group, we observe the laws of what are called symmetry and
reciprocity - two very strong, scientific principles.

The responsibility of posting to a newsgroup is that only you choose
what you think is important to discuss. Of your choices to go
technical or metaphysical (or CB truckers), I have no control over. I
have responded to your technical comments and your sidebars (as now)
equally.

Upon my analysis of the Top Hat on J-Pole you could have acknowledged
the results, asked questions about particulars of implementation, or
challenged the results to greater scrutiny - and simply ignored side
topics. I observe you have not shown any interest in obtaining the
model used. We share models as a commonplace expectation of peer
review. Any of this would have constituted technical correspondence.

Instead, the side-topics attracted your notice and you took that route
instead. I welcome all correspondence, but I am not responsible for
what you respond to when there are choices - especially when you can
add topics as well (a privilege I exercise, you present above, and I
do not object to in anyone).

So, as I offered so long ago:
1. Adding a coil offers loss [demonstrated];
2. Physical size in relation to wavelength dominates launch
characteristics [demonstrated];
3. It barely matters [less than 1dB].

The launch gain of a half wave radiator did not appear simply because
a much shorter antenna is ginned up to be antiresonant [demonstrated].

This also returns me to an unanswered question (also technical):
The rubber duckie antenna is certainly useful for some situations,
however,
it is better if it stays on the walkie-talkie and we use another design
for
portable or base use.
Given this opprobrium, what makes its cousin for 20M more suitable?

OR

I am both content, and competent to discuss those movies that would
have been more enjoyable than the alternative of sitting through the
snooze of finding gain from a small antenna.

OR

I am content discussing how to obtain the most gain from a small
antenna, or simply pointing you at 300 pages of results I've done
years ago.
