Giving W8QUR the benifit of the doubt

is like saying a 4 cylinder Hummer's efficiency would be improved if
you removed the chassis.

You either have to give the benifit of the doubt to W8QUR or the origonal
poster
W8QUR had benifit of editors that reviewed his work and decided it was
correct.

Hmmm.. but the editors at QST and similar magazines actually don't do
that much technical review. Sometimes there are typos that don't get
caught, as well. There are several instances of incorrect or misleading
data in a QST article in the last few years (and, I suspect, if one took
the time to go back and look in decades gone by, you'd find errors there
as well). Sometimes it gets corrected in a subsequent issue, sometimes
not.

QST isn't a peer reviewed technical journal. Lots of good ideas, but
it's always wise to look at some background info too.

True enough, all it would take to settle this is for someone to have a copy
of the article in question and to post it. I have trouble with the OPs
equating pi-net with system. Just doesnt sound right to me. I welcome anyone
sending me a copy of the article in question.
