That's one hell of a statement, I assume you can back it up?

Hi Derek,

Actually, having a small 160m antenna is the "one hell of a statement".

That being the case, the burden is on art to back it up in the positive..

He will not.

Nobody can prove a negative; it is up to art prove the positive.

Sorry but your assumption cannot possibly be correct since it is
impossible
to prove a negative.

* * *You made a positive statement, You called Art a "liar"

I absolutely did not! Show my a quote where I used thre word liar. I called
him a fibber. Big difference. A fibber might actually have something like a
160m antenna, true, but as for 'small' that would be his exagerration based
on his literary license with words. He later said it was 16 feet in length..
That is not "small". With a large loading coil I could build a 16 foot very
inefficient 160m antenna but it would be a fib to say it was 'small' without
also stating the length. The term 'liar' is your own term that you made up..
apparently.

*that is a

big difference from saying you disagree with Art's claim that he can
build a small 160m antenna, if you can't back your statement up Art
deserves an apology.

Sure, IF I has used the term liar but that statement is in itself a lie.- Hide quoted text -

If a efficient antenna is less than 20 feet long without any loading
and without a ground plane or matching systemsis not considered
"small" for 160 metres then pray tell me what is considered "small"
and I will take mine down and replace it with a smaller one.
In the mean time, I will accept that I am a liar, because my
definition of "small" does not meet your personal requirements
and all that's new on antennas must be rejected by slander
if necessary. As a newby you sure lined up quickly with the habits
of the founders of this group!
