So Brett, you are retired and planning to visit washington?

Your noise to signal ratio is overwhelming man!

You remind me of a contester I heard years ago:
"You are coming in 5 by 9, CAN YOU REPEAT? CAN YOU REPEAT?"

Maybe someone in Sacramento can relay the message to you, Brett.

... or, another guy who struggled against great odds, with an antenna
"one element short of a full antenna!"

Brett, I see you got the relay, even from someone with one element
short. (Curious sort of thanks you offer your assistant.) At least
it has a asymptotic trajectory towards the topic. Let's just nudge
that into more than a glancing contact:

I know its a challenge for you to stay technical, but how much signal
is lost with that one missing element? Let's say an NBS Yagi. Can
you choose any one element and describe the net shift in dBi? You
couldn't respond to the Subject Line of how a Blackberry could source
5KW to provide -10dBW at 15 wavelengths, so this may be out of your
league too. ;-(

So, for the comic relief we can all count on Brett for, can you,
perhaps, tell us how many missing elements you would have to have to
reduce this pocketed Blackberry's boiling contribution to the sea
water in your Bulbo-Cavernous Artery by one degree Celsius? Please
post your bench test on youtube.

Better yet, don't remove ANY elements and repeat the bench test, and I
bet 60 Minutes will air that! What a coupe! Validation at last! And
I bet they will, probably, maintain your anonymity - maybe (so much
for validation). Anyway, its worth our fun to watch this by any name,
and OK so it will probably only be carried by Mythbusters (poetic
about that too).

So, the NBS Yagi report? The 15 wavelength explanation? Boiling sea
water experiment?
