If so where did all the entrenched bafflegab about antennas made
from
insulated wire being shorter than antennas made from bare wire come

From old wives who built up an imaginary empire from something they
have erroniously gleaned from misquotations from the wrong magazines
and unthinking ragchews.

As occurs with masses of verbiage on other popular topics.

But it's all good fun and entertainment, is it not? ;o)

Humpf. I almost snookered myself into actually doing the experiments
discussed in the other thread.

I guess I'd be able to laugh at myself eventually.

I think I'll drop a line to MFJ and suggest that they develop an
Antenna BS Detector. Maybe as an accessory for their 259B analyzer.
