Yes. But when they over estimate their abilities in areas outside

Pot+Kettle=Black?

I proved myself as a true ham today.

You tacked your license to the wall above your MFJ259?

BTW, any directional gain means little if only a small amount
of the applied RF is radiated by the small inefficient antenna.
With such a small antenna, "gain" is the last thing you should be
worried about.
My MW receiving loops have a great f/s ratio. That does not
mean I would want to use them as transmitting antennas.. :/
Git my drift Vern?

This antenna of mine has really got you in a headlock.Your breathing
is close to being cut off and there is no blood flowing to your brain
such that you are so angry and can't think straight.
What on earth does this antenna mean to a red neck who brags of
avoiding schooling? Is it regret of some sort? It is not a secret
antenna! Sooner or later you will have the opportunity to make one
yourself. Probably in time for the peak of the next sunspot cycle. But
then, what use will you make of it other than talk? On the other hand
I don't remember anytime referring to your antennas either for
transmitting or receiving other than hearing you say, in effect, that
they cam beat anything on the planet. Having never met a redneck from
the mountains I can only assume that such talk is the very nature of a
redneck that makes them a subject for comedy. For that you do a
terrific job with respect to american humour.

I don't understand that John!
I do remember a trip thru the mountains when we saw a sign that stated
"rest area ahead" but it was a red graffity sort of sign. We kept our
eyes open and later came upon it. It was an old mattress placed on the
side of the road. We later came across a flea market which we intended
to visit but we couldn't. There was only one huge car park that was
marked for the handicap only, and it was full! We thought was mighty
unfriendly. Other than that it was beautiful country. I heard one guy
say I should have gone to the most afluent areas,I told him we did
once and they were very friendly and invited us to a house warming. We
did not go ofcourse because of the set conditions where guests had to
promise to help with removing the wheels! They were not attached to
the house as they had fallen off en route and landed up in a marshy
area.

John I remember now, I have seen a redneck. We came across a bunch,
all looking evil
with these huges blunderbuss type weapons. But appearances are
deceiving since they were just squirrel hunting. I asked then about
the necessity of these large wierd looking rifles but they said they
came in handy if they didn't win the race to pick up the road kill.
Taking another look at them it all seemed to make sense

That was probably back when Clinton was in the White House.
With the sunset of the AWB, many rednecks have progressed
to more capable tools. Of course, the race for road kill still exists
in many areas, as many prefer the grainy texture of an aged
animal carcass.
If you can find a roadkill old enough to be yellow striped, you can
consider yourself a lucky man indeed, as these are considered
a delicacy by many. Road striped possums and skunks are a
special treat at the dinner table, broiled or fried.
These days, many rednecks have switched to Barret .50 cal
sniper rifles, AR-15's, TEC 9's, etc.
The old antique shotguns have been relegated for A/C use for the
mobile homes. IE: they are often used as a doorstop to hold the
front door open. For mobile home protection, the favored handgun
of the modern progressive redneck is the Desert Eagle .50 cal..

You must be dreaming... :/

Your breathing

such that you are so angry and can't think straight.

Angry? Have you lost your mind? This is comedy to me.
On a personal level, I could care less about you or your
sub par developments of psuedo science.
It does bother me that you pollute the minds of
unsuspecting newbies with your bafflegab though.
Not a whole lot, but enough to where I feel compelled
to tweak your ass every once in a while.
Maybe I better quit though, as it seems that when I do
this, it cuts off the flow of blood to your brain, and you
become very angry, and can't think straight. :/

You got that right. It's not even new for that matter.
You think you are the first person to try to invent a small
perverted antenna with the performance of a full size version?
I'm curious... You and and that EH antenna guy are not
joined at the hip are you? Inquiring ponderers relish an
answer.

Sooner or later you will have the opportunity to make one
yourself.

Why would I want a sub par antenna when I already have
manly full size versions? You need to get out of the sun..
That 12 degrees is frying your brain...

Probably in time for the peak of the next sunspot cycle.

I don't depend on the sunspot cycles. That's probably why
I'm usually on the lower bands. My manly full size antennas
don't hurt things either..
Most any sub par design can me made to "work" on the higher
HF bands with enough efficiency to fool people who have never
tried a full size version.

But
then, what use will you make of it other than talk?

I agree. I already have enough dummy loads as it is.
I don't need an air cooled model that is mounted on a
tower.



On the other hand

I expect you will be able to find me saying that with a google deja
search? I have made no claims as to my antennas being the
best on the planet. I do claim to avoid elevated dummy loads
though. I admit it. Sue me.

I wasn't born in the mountains, although I think such a peaceful
setting would be nice. I was born in the downtown Dallas area.
The only mountains there are man made, and most are
glistening with lights and blinky things.
I have the dubious distinction of being born across the
street from where a certain president died a few years later.
BTW, here in the United States it's humor, not humour.
Git-R-Done Vern! Riches and fame await!
You might even end up cover boy of QST! Dang.. I'm
already impressed just thinking about it.
