102" whip
Anyone who has read my posts for the past few years knows that I'm not a person who uses the ad populum fallacy. As for physics, you have an open forum to explain the -complete- physics behind the two different antennas. Go for it. Any one who has read your posts over the past few years is probably suffering from salt poisoning. I don't have to know why the 102" ss is lousy, just as I don't have to know why mercury is poison. All I need to know is that it is. Uh-huh. How about correcting your test results instead? If I changed the numbers that would be falsification. I'll leave that response to you. You have it down pat. Where did I change your numbers, tnom? You would change your numbers to justify your argument. That is if you would ever run a test. You are not going to get a definitive answer from me, just conjecture. Conjecturing with someone like you, a dishonorable person, is an endless loop. All we need are the facts. Just the facts. Go get the facts. Run the test and stop posturing. I made the offer. If your test results are indeed "facts" as you claim then there should be no problem reimbursing my costs if my tests don't achieve the same results. Well? I don't do charity, especially for you. What is the antenna you want to test? Is it a "mr. coily"? Is it a "x-terminator"? I can tell you right now those are keyclown antennas meant to appeal to truckers and keyclowns. They perform like ****, but they look cool. |

Yes. It was the lowest and became the reference Uh Tnom, you can't make something a reference AFTER the test. That's not how you do a baseline. |

That means I'm not willing to risk my money on antennas based on purported claims of subjective tests from a single source that can't explain why the results don't obey the laws of physics. If you did then that's your problem, but don't expect me to be as foolish with -my- money as you are with yours. Put your money where your mouth is. Stop asking for a handout. I offered to buy one of these antenna on the condition that you will buy it from me -IF- it doesn't perform as well or better than a 9' RS whip as per your alleged test results. If you had -any- confidence in your test results then there is absolutely no risk on your part, the financial 'burden' would be mine, and I would end up with a pretty good antenna (according to you). So how is that "asking for a handout"? I might get cooties if I deal with you. Buy your own antenna. That's the plan, tnom -- or couldn't you understand what I wrote? Here, I lay it out point by point: 1. I buy the antenna. 2. I test the antenna. Still with me here? Good..... If the antenna meets or exceeds the performance of a Radio Shack 102" SS whip then I post the results with an apology, end of story, exit stage left, case closed. BUT.... If the antenna -fails- then you buy the antenna for the price I paid. Like I said in the other post, I'll even pay shipping. Do want a ham to monitor the test and provide independent verification of the results? I'm sure that won't be a problem. So the -=ONLY=- way my test will cost you ANYTHING is if the antenna fails to perform according to the results of your test. Now is there anything about my proposal that you don't understand? Is there .....ANYONE..... in this newsgroup who doesn't understand what I just proposed? So what'll it be, tnom? Are you going to back up your test or continue to play stupid? ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Now is there anything about my proposal that you don't understand? I understand A L the ramifications of you doing this test. I will take no financial responsibility from some one I do not trust. Is there .....ANYONE..... in this newsgroup who doesn't understand what I just proposed? They understand that your history is much more problematic than mine, so if you really want to debunk me then take the bull by the horns and buy the antennas. So what'll it be, tnom? Are you going to back up your test or continue to play stupid? I've backed my tests by exposing them to a newsgroup and encouraging others to do the same test. What have you done? Nothing. |

What's the difference between that and peddling snake-oil? Because I admit that I am not sure of the reasons for the result but I am sure of the result. I am not peddling anything other than the truth. You don't have to buy it. So the truth is that you have no idea why you got the results that you did, correct? I'll take your silence as a passive confirmation. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

You would change your numbers to justify your argument. That is if you would ever run a test. Then why even waste your time telling me to run the test? You're not making any sense, tnom. My guess is that you changed -your- numbers, or fudged them during the test, to make them consistent with your anticipated results Well then you don't know the history behind me running the antenna tests. Could it be that I wanted to debunk the X-terminator? Guess what? I did want to debunk it, but I couldn't. Numbers don't lie, just people. Sound familiar? |

Yes. It was the lowest and became the reference Hello Tnom: Good going doing the testing. There are a lot of guys out there that do not test anything and just recite books. Usually the guys who write the books aren't the guys who design and test the antennas. And that testing data is held quiet in the companies files. I hear this recited stuff all the time. But theres no substitute for hands on testing and comparison testing. What was used for the field strength measuring device? This test was done with an in sight very low power remote transmitter located about 200 yards away. A regular CB was used with low readings on the S-meter to give me a relative field strength. The exact S numbers were noted. Then next step was to calibrate the readings. The db calculation were computed after taking the same CB and exciting it with a variable power transmitter to see how the noted S-meter readings related to power output of the variable transmitter. |
