Which question was that, why QSL cards or awards are irrelevant as a
measure of antenna performance like you keep trying to claim?

It is proof that my antenna worked


A light bulb will "work" as an antenna.


OK, let's see you get WAS on 80 meters with a light bulb.


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.
