Hey, have you ever built any antennas? I know it is tempting to go buy a
standard issue one and ask everyone else why they bother, sometimes, I am
even tempted myself...

Hi John,

Given this opprobrium, what makes its cousin for 20M more suitable?
[20M is not noted for being line-of-sight either.] The principle
annoyance to erecting antennas is in matching them, beyond that, any
radiator from 0.1 to 0.625 wavelengths pretty much has the same gain
in the same direction. The difference being that some are harder to
interface to a transmitter than others.

Hi John,

Hoist your own petard, bucko. I display my call, I am among my peers
and do not post anonymously (not that your veil hasn't been penetrated
Brett).

Now, the question again:

Rather, back to my original question (your ADD--attention defecit disorder
is showing), "Anyone ever done a helical wound "Slim Jim?""

Hi "Jack,"

I suppose it has to be said if this is going anywhe Yes.

Is this 20 questions, or do you have any answers for yourself?

Apparently, I am not like you, I don't have all the answers and am just
sitting here ready to educate all the poor ignorant masses who have
questions.
I am amazed my motives can even be brought into question, to the
intelligent, I have suspected would be obvious.
I am interested in what others know, or think they know--I am interested in
things I do NOT yet know..
While if I am able to help someone with information in my possession--I will
quite willingly do so, however, I first need to gain this information.
Somehow, from all your posts, I am left with the impression you were
probably born knowing all the answers and, if not, you are now in the
possession of such and, all others serve only as an anoyance to you--so I
can see how you would puzzle over some ignorant A$$ such as myself.

John
Cut off the conversation, it is not worth it.
Richard just loves to fight and show how smart he is and
if this doesn't work, which is generally, the case he goes
on a personal attack.
Generally he is not worth the attention.
And the more agitated he gets the more he reverts to use of
the long words instead of short words and scrambles his answers
so all are confused as to what he is saying, why he is saying it as
well as what benefit he thinks he is supplying by typing it.
The bottom line is that his intention is to destroy the integrity
of his opponent rather than to assist with courtesy.
And rest assured, he views all as an oponnent
Just making a point
No reply required

Art

Hi Art,

You could use a blunt.

Art, I once has a fuzz-phrase card with ten words in each
of three columns. One picked three numbers at random and
looked up the words for inclusion in a memo or paper. One
possibility might be "integrated quantitized phenomenon".
I suspect Richard C. has some rather sophisticated fuzz-
phrase software at his disposal. :-)
