I must agree with Art, I think you have displayed a complete lack of good manners, what is written in private should stay as such unless agreed otherwise by both parties. Derek |

Derek Gentlemen I tuned my antenna this afternoon for 1.9 Mhz where the S meter was regesting S9 noise. Put a sheet of aluminium under it and the noise stayed at S9 Now I need to put a sheet of aluminium on the top of it to form a capacitor but that I can't do by myself as I need another pair of hands to rest it on the top. Hopefully my niehbor will show his face sometime in the next couple of weeks so I can complete the experiment. I made the antenna as large as I could so when it is inbetween the two 8 X 4 sheets I will see a difference in signal. Time to mow the grass for the last time and empty the gas tank for the winter.

I am anxious to see if it will duplicale the bottom antenna of a stack where the capacitor/antenna bleeds off noise to the ground. Antenna will stay sitting on the ground until I get a feel of how it reacts in the coming days of showers. It is set up as a cloud burner at the moment so I should get some contacts. All bands seem to be active so I will put a chair in the yard and play Maybe even take a photo for the record! Plenty of harmonics so most bands should be available Art Art |

Made A$$'es out of all the "experts" and continues to do so ... sometimes there is real justice. Regards, JS I especially liked the experts who wouldn't use a B&W antenna under any circumstance because it was inefficient. Even when the uses included ALE, frequent frequency changes, and use in hostile environments. They just gotta squeeze every last db out of a piece of wire. |

Any "expert" who doesn't consider the application is no expert at all, and certainly not even a competent engineer. Who are these people you're speaking of, and why do you consider them "experts"? Roy Lewallen, W7EL Interesting aproach as to what a good engineer is. It goes without saying that the application has to be considered, even Yogi Bear would have come up with a better one than that and he is not an engineer. As an engineer myself I consider a engineer or "expert" is one that will consider anything unless science has definitely ruled it out and that doesn't neccesarily include what has been written before the question arises. Natuarally that means not ruling out trying ANYTHING unless one considers their minds developed enough that it is satisfactory to go thru the thought processes only. On that basis this newsgroup is full of fake " experts"! Art KB9MZ |
