It appears to me that someone has been reading too many Wikipedia articles - especially the ones that I wrote a long time ago.
Not to mention too many old editions of S9 and CQ magazine.

In the mid 60's - we talked about Tower Lighting - where the energy emitted from the antenna was being asorbed and reflected and radiated by the tower - which technicially was being electrostatically charged.

This was also the reason why HY Gain came up with the little egg beater / colineariator on top of their vertical antenna's such as the Super Magnum 117..

I think someone forgot to give Sheldon his medications today and he has gotten a little out of hand and the other techo geeks on this forum decided to attack.

Would everyone please take a chill pill and just calm down and relax.

I'm sure you can display your Pedant knowledge to someone a little less bright then you, say maybe the check out girl at the grocery store or the guy that pumps your gasoline into your vehicle at the gas station.
