Sorry, I'm just agreeing with the 2000 ARRL Handbook and
all other references I can find on the subject. It is you
who has to prove all those references wrong.

Ha, ha! Nice joke, Cecil. I'll tell you what: if you can show
that a group of students can tell whether it's raining or not solely
by listening to the static on a radio with an outside antenna, I
might begin to believe part of what you say. Otherwise, all your
talk about carefully selected references is little more than a
pathetically hollow attempt at self justification.
