I can go back 5 years and find the same RHF posts.
What's so wrong with posting individual URLs? If you aren't interested
in the info, why bother clicking on it? Newbies, the ones that might
benefit the most from such actions, may not understand how to properly
conduct a wide-ranging search. Sometimes the search engines bury you
in URLs unrelated to what you're looking for. Castigating RHF and
DXAce simply because they post links seems to be focusing negativity
on the MOST USEFUL things those guys do in here. You'd think that you,
more than most, would be encouraging these guys to spend more time
posting links instead of ridiculing YOU daily.
Punctuation? I teach public speaking and I find that most people that
even try to have perfect grammar are suffering from delusions
regarding their own self-grandeur. Understandability is the key and I
don't have any problem understanding what RHF is trying to say. He may
not be the best speller in the world, but his efforts at disseminating
antenna info hardly are suffering from any non-standard spelling or
punctuation. There are many contributors in here with good punctuation
and spelling, but nothing of any real value to read.
If you go back five years, you'll see that RHF was posting DIFFERENT
links back then. To be honest, I think the quality of his links has
improved significantly. To be honest, going back three years doesn't
show a whole lot of evolution transpiring in your posts. Talk about
"monkey chatter"....
To be honest, RRS is infinitely better than it was in the mid-90s. The
racists and neo-Nazis that use to make about half the posts in here
have disappeared. If you don't like RRS, there are now plenty of other
places (with moderation!) where �you can get info.
Do you really believe, David, that your own posts convey as much
valuable info as do at least some of the posts of Steve and Roy? I'm
truly sorry that you've been picked on as much as you have, but your
posts are NOT the reason I've been reading this RRS without posting.

I know I'm way less rude than DX Asshole. �I know that proper
punctuation facilitates easier communications, especially for the
visually impaired. �I know that throwing up a bunch of information, some
of it contradicting other of it, is not as helpful as when someone
speaks from personal experience.

1. Passive aggression can be as irritating (and as ridiculous) as
direct aggression. Both some of the most evil and stupid people I've
ever met were far less rude than Steve Lare. Even rude people can be
useful sources of information. (Thanks for today's Top News link,
Steve!)
2. I'm visually impaired. Check the archives. My R-75 has the voice
mod. RHF's stuff don't bother me. Why do you feel that you speak for
the visually-disabled?
3. You would think that a professional pseudo-journalist, like
yourself, would realize that providing contradictory links shows
respect for democratic free choice. Let the reader discern which they
choose to believe.
4. If the filter is going to be that we should be limited to
discussing
only that which is experienced-based, why are you still here? Are you
really suggesting that your real experience with shortwave radio comes
anywhere near the real-world DXing experience of Steve Lare or the
real antenna info being facilitated by RHF? I think these guys are
winning on the level of who has the most useful personal experiences
to convey.

David, exactly, what is your role in the community, again? Are you
here to tell us that we're members of a dead hobby?

Congratulations.

I have no idea what RHF's personal knowledge of antennas entails. Â*I
know he puts up links to antennas that don't work very well, are
sometimes overpriced, etc. Â*He just seems to be repeating things.

FYI I used to provide the bulk of EE language loggings for a now-defunct
DXer magazine. Â*I logged Tahiti's little flea-power on 15.XXX in
downtown Houston, in the daytime, on one of my 2 R-390As, and my 120'
steel random wire. Â*Confirmed.

This was back in the late '80s, when the Sun was spottin' and the Cold
War has hoppin'. Â*SWBC was still viable back then. Â*GHFS was almost as
entertaining. Â*Since then, it's been steadily downhill, both
propagation-wise and target wise.

david, David. DAVID !

Why do you make such "IN YOUR FACE" Statements ?

- The cultural aspect of SWL cannot be disregarded and frankly
- I'm shocked that so many "American" people here are listening
- to other cultures but not hearing the message.

David - "The Message" - You Choose to Believe 'Other' Nations
Over Your Own ! -while- Having Heard Their Message and Our
Message : I Choose To Believe My Government Over Theirs.

David - I Have An Abiding Faith In "My" Country ~ RHF
Sadly By Your Own Admission You Do Not.

-Â*The USA is a rogue nation.

David - There You Go Again - Going-Off The-Deep-End ! -
David - Clearly You Have Gotten 'The Message"
{Bought Their Anti-American Propaganda}
and Swallowed-It Hook-Line-and-Sinker.

-Â*The USA is the greatest threat to world peace.

David - There You Go Again - Going-Off The-Deep-End !
David - Clearly You Have Gotten 'The Message"
{Bought Their Anti-American Propaganda}
and Swallowed-It Hook-Line-and-Sinker.

- What! Impossible!

David - The "What!" - Yes You Are "Impossible!"

- I make no apologies for being annoying to bigots.

David - So the majority of this Newsgroups Readers and Your
Fellow American Citizens : In Your Opinion Are BIGOTS.

David - No Apology is Required For You Have Achieved and
Exceeded Your Goal of "Being" ANNOYING !

Once Again David :
* I Believe In America as a Force for Good in the World.
* I Believe In The American People and Their Basic Goodness.

(OT) : David -proclaims- The USA Is A Rogue Nation. &
The USA Is The Greatest Threat To World Peace.


God {Allah} Bless America and All Americans - Amen ~ RHF
