I like antennas that are short-circuited DC-wise. Mainly because, at one
time I had a radio on a vertical and lightning struck about a mile away and
blocked my receiver for several seconds. Of course, not all radios have a
floating input, but, it impressed me.

So, I "invented" the folded unipole which would match to a 50 ohm feed.

The Slim Jim or the J-Pole?

Neither of those are foled.

Now I _KNOW_ that you are nothing but an ignorant abusive troll,
mouthing infantile obscenities in order to make yourself the centre of
attention

PLONK!

Just what is so abusive about pointing out the fact that neither a
slim jim nor a j-pole are folded antennas?

You asked "the Slim Jim or the J-pole?"
Nope. He's talking about essentially a vertical made out of half of a
folded dipole. And that vertical part itself is folded over.

That's quite a bit different.

Personally, I don't get the ignorant abusive troll part from his response.

It is a knee jerk reaction to someone that has called him on false
statements in the past.
