Having a hard time keeping up?
Remember this: Engineers designed the Titanic. Engineers also designed the
sky bridge at the Kansas City Raddison and engineeers desigend the roof of
the Hartford Civic Center. And engineers design antennas.
Yeah, they do. And it's in fully understanding what is happening that
avoids disasters too. It's okay, you're special too.
Just put the goddam wire up in the air, tie some kind of feedline to it, run
it through the antenna tuner, tune for zereo reflected power and make
contacts. All else is bull****.
Or, in your case, just order your antenna from a vendor in the back of
QST and hang it in the back yard, jump on 75 meters and make farting
noises all night with your drunken buddies.
"I don't care how it works, just as long as it works". Which is fine,
but don't denegrate others because they want to discuss it. Don't like
it, ignore the thread.
