If you have X amount of time available to fuss around trying to
minimize feedline radiation, might you rather spend that time:

If one follows good engineering practice, it becomes second
nature after awhile and consumes only a negligible amount
of time which is usually more than worth it. If it takes
someone more time to learn about feedline radiation than
they are willing to spend, well then what-the-hell,
ignorance is bliss.

1. Having more or longer QSOs with your AZ friend?

We run out of things to talk about as it is.

2. Working a little DX?

Most of them don't speak Texan.

3. Improving your audio?

I'm already famous for my audio. I do a mean Johnny Cash.
I'm also not bad at Elvis. I'm lead bass in the church
choir. They call me the "largemouth bass".

4. Watching a movie?

The last movies that I really enjoyed were "Patton" and
"Alien". Most movies put me to sleep (which is not a bad
thing). If you enjoy homosexual sheephearders - well,
it takes all kinds.

5. Making whoopie with the XYL?

Divorced in 1984 - I wish it had been sooner.

6. Any number of other possibilities?

I do have a part time teaching job and I like riding
my Harley. I also just spent about three hours getting
my birdhouse ready for the Purple Martins that are
returning from Brazil to nest in East Texas. The fact
that I am posting to this newsgroup at this time means
that I don't have anything interesting or productive
to do. :-)
