Hey, I try to be helpful and keep things positive.

Posting as a substitute for Prozac, or is it Lithium?

RC - You again seem to be the 'expert' in his area of endeavor.

I did not play Twenty Questions : I posted three.

Hmm, a matter of degree not substance. As for substance I note you
have no interest in engaging the outcome of your questions' answers
nor in pursuing the technical claims of your submitted eh antennas.

RC - The topic became EH Antennas, and I posted "Links" for the
original poster to go to and explore that subject; if that was
his continued interest. I am sure that a YAHOO eGroup with over
600 Members and more than 4600 Messages posted; will provide more
information then I could.

So I will respond to your style and expose your weakness in that
regard too. ;-)

RC - What Ever Winds Your Clock.

For some the EH Antenna may be a matter of 'faith' and to the
extent that it "Works" in some form or fashion: Hey It WORKS !
Your technical details valid or not, have very little relevance
to them and 'their' EH Antenna.

Rabbit ears for AM reception WORK for the faithful too.

RC - When all you have is a single short WHIP Antenna built into your
'portable' AM/F/Shortwave Radio. A pair of "TV Rabbit Ears" properly
connected to the radio; may indeed function better as an Antenna.

Hey What Works, WORKS !

Such a recommendation! It's like short-changing the blind to
teach them self sufficiency.

RC - If the Motive and Goal is "To Teach" and not to 'steal';
and if the Lesson is Learned. Then dealing with the realities
of the world is part of 'being' Self Sufficient.

Actually "so write you."

No one can hear you scream on the internet.

RC - That is true, but they may see you SCREAM :-[]

For others following the poor quality of discussion surrounding the eh
antenna; this design has been field tested, studied and analyzed quite
thoroughly on rec.radio.amateur.antenna.

RC - They may wish to also seek an 'alternative' view point from
the EH Antennas eGroup on YAHOO; with it's 600+ Members and more
than 4600 Messages posted.

It is quite an education to
simply look at the field data offered by the proponents themselves
(who are just as incapable in reading engineering reports as any
Yahoo).

RC - Yes as you have 'noted' I am Yahoo.
..

For the sheer bulk and complexity of the eh design, their own reports
shows it to be fully 0.1% to 1% efficient compared to a simple design.
Of course, few of you may be capable of erecting this simple design.

RC - For those who wish to seek an 'alternative' view point from
from yours. I would suggest that they check-out the "EH Antennas"
eGroup on YAHOO; with it's 600+ Members and more than 4600 Messages
posted about the EH Antenna by actual users of the EH Antenna.

However, going to the trouble with the eh when you could as easily use
rabbit ears purchased at Radio Shack must bring with it what Yahoo
cites as the misty-eyed boon of faith (which accounts for easily 20
over S9 signals in an S1 field of noise where the faithless only hear
static).

'portable' AM/F/Shortwave Radio. A pair of "TV Rabbit Ears" properly

Henceforth we can call these designs Faith-Gain Antennas.

RC - Considering the amount of Religious Programming on the
Shortwave Bands. A "Faith-Gain" Antenna just may be the type
of Marketing Buzz Word that will sell an Aerial type Product
at a Heavenly Price.

It means
that if you discard tuners, preselectors, tuned antennas, and simply
use a wire coat hanger; that if you squeeze your eyes hard enough and
fall to your knees with folded hands held slightly above brow level,
then you too can enjoy the melodious tongues from other lands
communicating to your inner heart

RC - Ah the Things that Dreams are made of . . .

- don't forget to turn on the radio.

RC - Thank You I Won't.
