Hi Arhtur,

I liked Arthru better.....hehe. Dunno why, but it reminds me of Carrie's
Father on King of Queens.


Not worth repeating, is it? Such recommendations fall into a familiar
pattern, especially when you can't find your own page.

Well, still and all it bears visiting those archives to read how each
of your claims blows your last one out of the air as being the height
of stupidity.

Efficient directors are longer than driven elements.
("Time to Burn the books, the early tour.")

More efficient reflectors are shorter than the driven element. (Unless
you need two reflectors which are even MORE efficient.)

Short antennas are vastly more efficient because halfwaves are too
long. (Good by two reflectors.)

Long (halfwave) antennas are exceedingly more efficient because they
were blessed by a heretical disciple of Gauss. (Goodbye directors and
reflectors altogether.)

Longer (fullwave) antennas are fantastically more efficient because
they....
(Goodbye Gauss, here's another spade of mud in your face.)

Finally I understand.



These theories of "efficiency" are like the Republicans giving us back
our own money - meanwhile the prostituted dollar has plummeted,

I was told that is a good thing.
