I think the only thing proven with his experiment is that a good antenna
can
work just as crappy as a crappy antenna -- the only difference is in the
installation. Radio requires attention to several factors, such as knowing
the
difference between an RF ground and a DC ground, how SWR and
field-strength
meters really work and how to use them, using the right equipment for the
right
job, location of the antenna on the vehicle, etc, etc. And BTW, these are
things
that should be learned and put into practice by anyone serious about the
hobby.

You wouldn't believe (maybe you would, at that) how many hams I know, that
think a 6' wire to a ground stake is an RF ground for their VHF/UHF
station..
