You don't get QSL's from all 50 states on 80 meters with an antenna that
"sucks". But you can't accept that fact because it violates your fantasies.

QSL cards say nothing about an antenna's performance, but you can't
accept the fact because you are in a rage that someone implied that
something you used was less than perfect.

You can't accept the fact that an antenna that "sucks" wouldn't be able
to get QSL cards from all 50 states on 80 meters.

Anything that conducts, from a light bulb to a set of bed springs can
act as an antenna and some contacts can be made; I've done it with
both.

Simply because something "works" says nothing about how well it works.

You are simply unable to accept the fact that something you had could
have worked better, thus you rant and fume and go off on tangents.
