If you don't quit spewing all this blatant horse crap, I will be going
into
talking head mode again.
BTW, I'm younger than you are. So your claims of age affecting
vulnerability to the effects of constant bafflegab and horse caca
will
tested at great lengths in such an endeavor.
The change of the fabled antenna at HCJB had nothing to do with
efficiency. Period.

You my friend are a good example of what a redneck thinks.
In the past you have bragged about your lack of schooling
spouting about the times you didn't go to school. Now you have a
license
to operate a radio where you can excercise your freedom of speech at
will.
Unfortunately, as soon as you start vibrating you vocal cords you
instantly
reveal who and what you are. This is of immense inportance to the
rest of us
when considering whether to use our precious time to your utterings.
Go ahead and be a talking head but you will find that your audio lacks
propagation
in the subject of antennas
Have a happy day and be nice to those around you. You will never know
when
that last day of yours comes around despite your youthful age.

Prior Art... I have never "bragged" about not going to school.
I was expelled from school. Which means I really didn't have a
whole lot of choice in the matter past that stage.
But in the general scheme of things this means little, as most
schools don't teach antenna theory unless it's a specific college
course.
You have never heard my vocal cords vibrate, as you have never
talked to me. I doubt if you have even heard me on the air.

Being you are so highly educated, why is your spelling
so bad?
Seems to me you went to school, but either slept through
it, or had other things to think about.
In any case, you are the last horses ass that should be
braying about my education.
I educate myself, and have plenty of books laying around.
It's funny, I am self educated and oft speak about antennas,
but few people have any problems with what I write about.
If they do, it's usually some fairly minor detail.
You on the other hand, claim to be well educated, but
almost everything you spout is challenged as bafflegab,
pure untruth, or just plain horse crap.
What is wrong with this picture?
Prior Art, you make me feel gifted, being I seem to be
ahead of you as far as antenna theory, and I didn't
take *any* scholarly courses for it.
I think you should learn to write and spell a little better
if you are going to whine about other peoples lack of
education. Your "Queens English" is a mess.
What is your excuse for this problem?
I absolutely hated English when in school, yet I seem
to be doing a bit better writing it than you, even with my
sub par education. At least I have an excuse though.
Again, you make me feel downright gifted to be on par
with such a highly educated man such as yourself. :/

Pray tell me then why I am incorrect. You can salvage the
answer from your own mind or even from a book.
If you are going to decry my explanation you must have the reason at
your finger tips.
You heard mention of the Tesla coil earlier as a posters sample with
respect to a particular point.
What the poster did not state was that a Tesla coil is NOT in a state
of equilibrium even tho it may be resonant!
Why else would energy break out from a circuit in the form of a spark
if there was more freedom to travel else where?l
Same goes for the old spark plug system, it is not in equilibrium. So
go ahead supply an educated reason
as to why the sparks emminated from the dipole in Quito and why the
closed circuit of a quad pushed the
particular problem away. On the other hand give an educated answer to
the direction of the three vectors
involved in radiation that Harrison cannot give. You say you have
books then go a head with
respect to these two questions that nobody on this group has been able
to resolve.
With all the books you say you have then I would agree with you that
even a high school drop out
can knock hell out of me with respect to antennas.
Have a happy day and smile
Art.
Ps. When younger I passed the Oxford and Cambridge entrance test on
English but old age has taken its toll.
