For anyone still reading who is bored

Hi Gene,

To ask about those still reading, there is one very good reason why
the thread persists: topic drift as your post has just raised the
opportunity to:
1. argue the original quotation by shifting authors;
2. argue the subquotation in terms of ANDing where his sum of the
parts never equal the whole;
3. respond to "do you think the Vf" in terms that diverge from your
yes/no;
4. argue no one uses a one turn coil load for 160M (this is all
getting too easy to dissemble);
5. discuss transitions when you obviously don't believe they exist
(more arguments over inconsequentials);
6. counter-claim old claims (aka correcting what he would call your
bad context);
7. argue models (he has already questioned EZNEC's capacity in some
form - you will only tread that old ground once again);
8. fight over "missing" portions of the antenna - Cecil can prove he
never "exactly" said it did!;
9. ... and more through finer parsing than found here (and it is
guaranteed to be found, that has been amply demonstrated when you feed
the troll).

Those exchanges are like watching someone chase the clown in a
revolving door with discarded lines of attack flying out like grass
clippings from a lawn mower.

Cecil has never been able to hold his ground to one point when I've
drilled down instead of following the outrageous. No one want to
abandon the only true content, the comedy; but, really, the knots of
argument are far more deterministic than the technical issue
supposedly being discussed.
