Good Grief! I cannot do the measurement on the W8JI coil
because I don't have the coil. Upon the coil that I do
have, a 75m bugcatcher coil, the measurement was easy.

My goodness, it has been a long time since I've heard "Hearts and
Flowers" attempted through posting on this newsgroup. How sad! It
must be a titanic struggle to find the W8JI coil's description and
build one.

All the more strange for this shortfall given:

No doubt your eyes are failing, or memory has lapsed momentarily, or
perhaps a recent personal crisis diverted your attention - or more
likely (and here we can all agree) the topic is utterly boring except
for these charming flirtations you offer (otherwise considered to be
intellectual pan-handling).

Anyway, the "suggestion" of measurement of a time delay in the quote
above is nothing more than that - a suggestion. If we were to press
for more details (always absent in these proclamations passing as
technical content), then we would find that, no, the measurement was
one of resonance (and likely not even that) which then through a weak
chain of rusty links of logic once again summons up the corrupted
reading of Corum(s) to INFER not measure.

I think the group was short-changed on the lack of a definition for
the amusing application of "particular." At least we would have
gotten some value added to drape the coffin of this thread.
