A quick followup and then no more.

The owner of the group takes a distinct approach to determining whom he
admits. Out of respect for maintainiing its integrity, I will say no more.

He evidently doesn't "have it in" for anybody by group, profession, etc..

Yes, as your name is now among the select in the scrolls of the
"Dallas Files."

That's funny, but note the next post, "a quick followup," which I wrote and
sent during the lag time before yours appeared.

Special, ordinary ... whatever I am; apparently I can join, after all.

This all seems odd to me.
I had no problem getting admitted, he works with several hams regarding
his antenna systems, so it's not about hams.
I think he has some great research using single, dual and quad phased
Flag or Delta antennas. There's also info on building a circuit for
adjustable phasing of two antennas.
So get another email address and just say you have an interest in
improving your AM radio reception.

But, yet, I got turned down again, even though I fully complied with his
directions. The problem is that I politely added my opinion that his
methodology for rejecting his group's applicants had a flaw in my case. (He
had earlier explained some of it to me in a thoughtful and candid private
email.) Obviously, I should have kept my opinion to myself. I live and
learn.

He responded to me with a curt one-line private email saying that the flaw
was in _my logic_. From that, coupled with his third rejection two minutes
later, I conclude that the mere mention of anything negative is an instant
deal-breaker. He had earlier described trouble he'd had in his group with
people he termed "bad boys." It's much easier to be dubbed one of his "bad
boys" than I would have guessed. Wow!

Yes, I could try to trick him with another email address; however, since I'm
not welcome at his front door, why risk the humiliation if he catches me
prying open a back window? I'm already somewhat annoyed at myself for this
missed opportunity. Why make it worse?

OK, so the final score is Dallas 3, Me 0. Game over. *sigh*

Thanks for the info, Sal. I had entertained the thought of signing up.
Apparently, it's not worth it.

Well it is worth it, if you have an interest in broadcast band phased
receiving antennas. Once your in, you can download the pdf files or just
look them over to your hearts content.
I was just hoping for someone else to talk nulling antennas with.
oh well,
John if you send me a private email, I'll send a sample or two
of what's on the site.
Thanks, Mikek

I appreciate the offer, MikeK, but I'm not interested in material where
the keeper is so hard-nosed.

Thanks anyway.

I wouldn't say that. I don't know! Give it a try.

Academically, he certainly has credentials. I easily discovered article
references showing he holds a PhD in Mathematics. He's a current university
professor and a widely regarded antenna expert.

I think he just doesn't tolerate people who cross him. I can't, in good
conscience, condemn him outright for that. Maybe he's just over his
lifetime toleration for the behavior of smart-ass 18-year-olds (and anybody
else that doesn't fly right).

It is more of a BLOG than a Forum. I have not found anything that
especially interests me yet. That does not keep me from checking in
from time to time.

I doubt there are few of us that don't seem a bit weird to some
people. My guess is that he wants to share his work without having to
give up time to those who just contribute to the noise level.
