Just made another similar size sample made of brass with a diamond

few own a MFJ 259B which makes for silly questions and comments. Oh
well.

Just twigged on the key phrase "I got it down".

What is that supposed to mean? *"I bent it?" or "I moved it next to this
nice old cast iron radiator"? *What?

So he adjusted it in an undefined manner.

And what size "diamond perforation"? *What angle? *What percentage
perforation? *What thickness is this sheet? *(Almost a bad pun)

Sorry Tom, I haven't got anymore time to waste on you. Find somebody
to show you how to use the MFJ and explain what resonance means and
you should be off and running, .......running away that is. So Tommy,
nighty ,night PLONK!
