This is a joke, right?

Not exactly - just a dash of Aquarian humor.

I am serious with the question. Will "scaling it" for a bottom band of
say 108 mhz make it "less efficent" at higher band?

If a uhf discone is designed to cover 400-500 MHz, for instance,
when you scale it to a vhf center frequency of 108 MHz, it will
cover approximately 96-120 MHz.

Only if you burn yur pi krust on the higher setting - SERIOUS! :-)

By the way, what flavor pi did you pick? In the News Democrat and
LEader they offer recipes for cranberries today (mmmm cranberry pi for
UHF). The Kentucky NeW Era reports apples are a good bet out at
Schlei's Orchards this weekend (mmmm apple pi for VHF).

i don't have apples....only windows xp
