Accch! Look what happens when I take a weekend off!

Okay now. I have the N3LI legal department working overtime now.

I am the person who invented the particles leaving the antenna theory.
Not Art, in fact I declare prior Art, or even prior to Art.

Ive posted it before but probably before you joined the group, so here
goes.....


The process of electromagnetic communications is all based upon tiny
little turds that reside on your antenna. Very small turds they are, yet
very powerful.

While transmitting, the little turds jump off the antenna, fly into the
atmosphere or aether, and then eventually land on a receiver's antenna,
completing the circuit.

This is why it is important to transmit every so often, so that your
antenna does not gain too much weight. During solar maximum, inactive
Hams often have their crappy antennas fall down.

Near the ocean the situation is worse, ya gotta transmit even more
often, lest ye be shoveling s**t against the tide.

And it is a well known fact that antennas that are used more for
transmitting take on a much higher polish, because there are less little
turds, and everyone knows you cant polish a.... oh never mind.

Anyhow, despite some twisted language, it is obvious that these
particles are a mer attempt to subvert the original and correct theory.
