Default RoomCap Antenna

Let's come back to the subject here, the RoomCap
antenna:

Read what wrote a builder of the antenna:
Paul VE3UNF was answering my question, if his report is a joke, with
the following reply:

I am 60 years old - a retired airline pilot whom has flown all over the
world from small turbo props, right up to the Boeing 747 with over
21,000.0 flying hours.

I have been building antennas off and on now for 15 years at my various
QTH's.
Most of the antennas I have built came from various antenna books which
were mainly stealth type antennas, as
most of my past QTH's were in deed restricted locations. eg . attic
antennas , hidden wire antennas, vertical
antennas off of balconies, short dipoles with traps, the list goes on
and on and I have never been able to make
an antenna that for it's size can perform at all, or as well as, or
outperform this G5RV.

I moved to this location in Florida last year which has an acre and a
half and was able to build this G5RV shortly thereafter.

After reading up on your other antennas and now this antenna. I decided
to build the RoomCap out of curiosity,
-- just to see how well it performed -- in the chance that if it did
give a reasonable account of itself, -- it would be beneficial to all
those hams that I know, that cannot put up a very visible antenna -- as
I remembered how difficult and frustrating it was for me to just get on
the air when I was in Toronto. Well, I built it and I was pleasantly
surprised.

I am going to continue to test this antenna with the G5RV and keep
recording the results irregardless of what anyone says.

If any of these armchair electronic communiction antenna experts want
to keep debunking it with their idea of the laws of physics without
reading all your theories on it--Well so be it, with their ignorance .
They obviously have thousands of dollars invested in their huge beams
and don't care about the poor guys that have to live in deed restricted
areas, who could greatly benefit from this. It would be great if they
could keep an open mind and just start listening to some of the other
reports that will be coming in from other builders.

Like I said before, I have built many many small and large wire
antennas only to have little to mediocre performance. Your antenna just
blew me away with it's performance.

Even though I am not an antenna expert - I know antenna performance
when I see it. I don't care if it defies the laws of physics or you
have come up with some new technological break through --
it bloody works and that's all there is to it .
I really don't care if these so called experts don't believe us. They
can just keep their ignoramist heads stuck in the sand and keep
studying and memorizing the old formulas in their old physics books
till they are blue in the face.

Thanks , -- Paul VE3UNF

Very sorry you feel that way OM. Because your opinion matters to me, I
have went to the time and expense of setting up a special support
hotline for you. ...
