Ken:

Hindu's go to great lengths not to even step upon a single ant, for that
feel the untimely death of a single ant might well change the course of
history (ask Cecil if you don't believe me--he has claimed he is a Hindu
grin.)

But Ken, I think that knot matters even less than the life of the poor
ant in question... you are probably safe...

Warmest regards,
John

Does a knot in insulated 16g stranded wire pose a problem
for a dipole at HF freqs? This is a 66' FD dipole, coax fed,
operating 40-10m with a KAT2 autotuner. The knots are 1/2"
away from the feedpoint & lock the antenna to it's center
insulator.

Every day I kill thousands, if not millions, of living organisms
like staff bacteria and cold viruses. I am forced to consume a
liter of wine just to get rid of my guilt pangs. I wonder how
other Hindus handle their guilt over killing so many living
creatures every day of their lives?

You should be doubly guilt panged, Cecil, just think of the billions of
poor yeast that gave up the ghost to assuage your guilt.

1,771,561 tribbles, er, electrons. That's assuming 1 trib - electron,
multiplying with an average litter of 10, producing a new generation
every 12 hours for 3 days.
