Hey Walt, I got this
horrible 1.2 SWR. How much farther will I reach out if I get it to 1:1?"


1:1, hail boy, you don't have a clue... I'z got my tenna tuned up so
the SWR is 1:0.9 - now that is one beyootiful antenna and it can hear
flea fart in antartica...
It's so efficient it pulls out more power out of the amplifier than I
feed to it... Why, sometimes I have to pull the 220 plug on the amp
just to keep it from stalling the generator down at the electric
company's power plant... The best part is my electric meter runs
backwards when I use the amp... Why, after last years CQWW the power
company had to send me a check... I think Mrs. Edison was upset over
havin to pay me becuz that check was so tear stained the teller at the
bank had to wring it out afore she could cash it...
Why the Friendly Candy Company is so amazed at my technical expertiz
that Riley, himself, sent me a letter asking me to come to Gettysburg
and splain my tenna to them... I think I'm goin to get an award as he
said sumpin about certificate action and delusions of grandeur ,
whatever that is - I think it is some French award like the Trump
L'oeil, that they give out over there... Long as I don't have to eat
any of them snails, ugh...

Anyway Walt, iffn you need some help with your new book give me a
shout cuz I got some antenna designs that'll knock ur socks off.,..
