In what English is the King James version of the Bible written? If you can understand it, it's Modern English. Here's an example of Anglo Saxon English (Olde English for Art): "Se halige Andreas him to cwaeth: 'Thine stefne ic gehiere, ac ic ne wat hwaer thu art.'" Since Art knows "Olde English" he can translate it for you. Here's an example of Middle English from Robert Manning of Brunne's, _Handlyng Synne_: "Ther were twey men of holy wyl That levyd togedyr withouten yl, Alone in an ermytage, And as meke as bryd in kage; The toon men call Eutycyus, The touther hyght Florentius." (In both examples I substituted 'th' for the old thorn character.) Hope this helps. 73, Tom Donaly, KA6RUH |

so it must not be Modern English. :-) I've heard that particular English called the "King's English". Is that an accurate description? No! King's (Queen's) English is used to describe 'correct' English, as opposed to slang or poor grammar etc.. The English in the King James Bible is correctly described as Early Modern (or Renaissance) English. 73 Jeff I have re-translated "The Bible". It starts out: "In the beginning, God created the Big Bang, which caused time to stand relatively still because all particles were moving at nearly the speed of light."

Off-topic question: Should we stone adulterers or not? :-) Many adulterers are stoned already... Of course it is a little difficult to figure out just what an adulterer is anyhow. If you raid a neighboring village, you can take the women as slaves and wives, somehow it was okay for Job's daughters to get him drunk and boink him. Go figure... - 73 de Mike N3LI - |

Good grief.. :/ I read through about 75% of that.. You can't debate a subject with Art. Tom asks him to simply show one device he has designed using this new fangled Gaussian theory, then Art claims Tom is "dissing" him, kicking sand in his face, or whatever other assault Art conjures up in his mind. :/ But he also alters facts to suit his whim, conjures non events out of the thin air, and other feats of internet skill. He whines because we ask him to define how he uses the term equilibrium in respect to antennas. But then he runs off to web page Q and whines that everyone asks him the definition of the word itself.. This is an oft used tactic of many that wish to confuse the audience at hand. He runs off to web page Q and tells all that some great wizard from MIT laid out a bunch of math to prove his theory. This is an outright deception, because I was there, I saw the exchange and the wizard from MIT never gave any real math at all. In fact, when questioned about a few points by Richard Clark, the great wizard from MIT took off, never to be heard from again. And he never gave any math at all as far as Art's design. So this event can be labeled as "the big lie" as far as I'm concerned. I'm all for antenna experimentation, but after several years of tinkering I have learned a couple of things. And so far they have never been proved wrong. Even by Art, or even the great wizard from MIT. #`1 There is no free lunch. #2 You can't polish a turd and make it a diamond. Art claims to do both, but as always, refuses to provide a working model that can be tested against known benchmark antennas, or he provides a design which does not work as claimed. Like the short "contra wound" contraption I've seen a picture of. He claims it is a viable antenna for 160m, and will be quite efficient. Heck, I don't even have to test it. I can just look at it and tell you it will be a dud compared to any decent antenna. But this is OK. It's not my design, and it's not my job to prove the design actually works. That is Art's job, but Art refuses to do it. If I had a design, I would want to test it against antennas with known properties. Art refuses. This is why he thinks many of these off the wall theories and designs work. He will never actually do the tests to confirm the performance. I bet he doesn't even have any reference antennas on his property, like say a 160m dipole, or a 1/4 wave monopole. How can one advocate a design or theory without even testing it? To sum, Art is like a dog that chases it's tail all day long. :/ That's my interpretation, and I'm sticking with it. |

The media often does something like that, it is called "commentary" or roughly translated: "subterfuge", "lying" or "manipulation" depending on the intent. BTW look to John Chapter 8. Seemingly the law is clear but condemnation isn't required. |
