This all seems odd to me.
I had no problem getting admitted, he works with several hams regarding
his antenna systems, so it's not about hams.
I think he has some great research using single, dual and quad phased
Flag or Delta antennas. There's also info on building a circuit for
adjustable phasing of two antennas.
So get another email address and just say you have an interest in
improving your AM radio reception.

But, yet, I got turned down again, even though I fully complied with his
directions. The problem is that I politely added my opinion that his
methodology for rejecting his group's applicants had a flaw in my
case. (He
had earlier explained some of it to me in a thoughtful and candid private
email.) Obviously, I should have kept my opinion to myself. I live and
learn.

He responded to me with a curt one-line private email saying that the
flaw
was in _my logic_. From that, coupled with his third rejection two
minutes
later, I conclude that the mere mention of anything negative is an
instant
deal-breaker. He had earlier described trouble he'd had in his group with
people he termed "bad boys." It's much easier to be dubbed one of his
"bad
boys" than I would have guessed. Wow!

Yes, I could try to trick him with another email address; however,
since I'm
not welcome at his front door, why risk the humiliation if he catches me
prying open a back window? I'm already somewhat annoyed at myself for
this
missed opportunity. Why make it worse?

OK, so the final score is Dallas 3, Me 0. Game over. *sigh*

Thanks for the info, Sal. I had entertained the thought of signing up.
Apparently, it's not worth it.

Well it is worth it, if you have an interest in broadcast band phased
receiving antennas. Once your in, you can download the pdf files or just
look them over to your hearts content.
I was just hoping for someone else to talk nulling antennas with.
oh well,
John if you send me a private email, I'll send a sample or two
of what's on the site.
Thanks, Mikek
