But you must admit that this normally quiet newsgroup finally has some
activity. Who knows, this could take on the characteristics of the GFW.

Unfortunately the traffic has nothing to do with antennas.

Things dried up here around 6 months ago. I suspect the people with
brains and stories, and some of us remember who they are, are no longer
with us or finally bailed due to the noise.



I was playing with Moonrakers way back in the early seventies.

Moonrakers? LOL. Ok now we have you calibrated.


No, you do not. I was 12 years old, and the gear was my dad's. You
have nothing, and you know nothing. All you do is presume, and you
presume wrong, boy.

The antennas I work with now are everything from 18 foot diameter
gateway heads to yagis for the military that we get in 20 foot long
crates that put anything you ever worked with to shame.

So what? Before you were born, I was working on 2-30 MHz log periodic
arrays that were collapsed into a nuc hard silo along with a telescoping
tower.
