I am going to explain it, but only once.
If you talk to the owner of that web site, he will tell you that the
designer of the particular model of off center fed dipole that I am
talking about is K3CC.
Again, if you call him on the phone, he will explain to you that K3CC
holds 27 US patents and is a lot more intelligent then you will ever
be.


I wasn't talking about him, I was talking about you.

I'll say it again, if you think that antenna works well from 160 or 80m
to 70cm, which is 420 to 450 MHz if you haven't figured that out, you
are more ignorant than I thought.

And patents aren't always about smart. Nowadays almost never. They
don't even have to be about reality.

They are about lawyers, paperwork, patience, money and lawyers.
