Art has made claims for discovering antennas that were commonplace for
Bellini and Tosi who he refuses to acknowledge predating his
"theories" 102 years ago.

And, as you are such a willing prospect for situational humour (as
just such as we indulge here anyway without regard for literary nor
scientific merit); I push the envelope by enlarging upon parallels to
Art - both literal and figurative (as evidenced by the last line):

This unique seat was occupied by the principal player, who wore a
humorous wig and a brilliant and expensive scarlet costume. He was a
fairly able judge, but he had mistaken his vocation; his rare talent
for making third-rate jokes would have brought him a fortune in the
world of musical comedy. His salary was a hundred a week; better
comedians have earned less. On the present occasion he was in the
midst of a double row of fashionable hats, and beneath the hats were
the faces of fourteen feminine relatives and acquaintances. These hats
performed the function of 'dressing' the house. The principal player
endeavoured to behave as though under the illusion that he was alone
in his glory, but he failed.

There were four other leading actors: Mr. Pennington, K.C., and Mr.
Vodrey, K.C., engaged by the plaintiff, and Mr. Cass, K.C., and Mr.
Crepitude, K.C., engaged by the defendant. These artistes were the
stars of their profession, nominally less glittering, but really far
more glittering than the player in scarlet. Their wigs were of
inferior quality to his, and their costumes shabby, but they did not
mind, for whereas he got a hundred a week, they each got a hundred a
day. Three junior performers received ten guineas a day apiece: one of
them held a watching brief for the Dean and Chapter of the Abbey, who,
being members of a Christian fraternity, were pained and horrified by
the defendants' implication that they had given interment to a valet,
and who were determined to resist exhumation at all hazards. The
supers in the drama, whose business it was to whisper to each other
and to the players, consisted of solicitors, solicitors' clerks, and
experts; their combined emoluments worked out at the rate of a hundred
and fifty pounds a day. Twelve excellent men in the jury-box received
between them about as much as would have kept a K.C. alive for five
minutes. The total expenses of production thus amounted to something
like six or seven hundred pounds a day. The preliminary expenses had
run into several thousands. The enterprise could have been made
remunerative by hiring for it Convent Garden Theatre and selling
stalls as for Tettrazzini and Caruso, but in the absurd auditorium
chosen, crammed though it was to the perilous doors, the loss was
necessarily terrific. Fortunately the affair was subsidized; not
merely by the State, but also by those two wealthy capitalists,
Whitney C. Witt and Mr. Oxford; and therefore the management were in a
position to ignore paltry financial considerations and to practise art
for art's sake.

Interesting. A very different Art comes to mind he Arthur Daley. Fits like
the proverbial.

I am not familiar with Arthur Daley, but your close editing has very
much converged on the psychology of this side-topic. We have with us
now a late-coming ankle bighter kinetically trying to compete for that
humorous wig.

However, that aside and in fitting to the context of the group, I
offered a link to an equally old reference of Bellini and Tosi that
should be very interesting to you, as a SWLer. If you revisit that
reference, then take note of the goniometer where its receive
application would allow you to perform your own crude beam steering
using two orthogonal long wire antennas (or crossed dipoles).

Daley's great, well worth trying to see. (Minder, TV shows circa 1979 or so).
The books aren't high literature but they are good (written by Anthony
Masters) and do offer something beyond the shows, and they stand some repeat
reading too. I think Wodehouse is better and funnier, but Minder really has
its perks. Cheerful Charlie Chisolm, for example... Best detective since
Clouseau.

Yes, I ought to have said, that IS interesting to me. I've often wondered
about direction finding so I earmarked it on the strength of that for a full
read soon. (Didn't have time today..)

This discussion has significantly diverged from allowable r.r.a.a

disturbing others within this group since many are very sensitive and

Art probably doesn't care a rat's rear end for anyone but Art. And I'm
not sure he even cares or know about himself. He is a total nutjob
after all.

at least it is a civil discourse and the material is at least well
