All dipoles are 1/4 wave at some frequency. You just wouldn't want to
use them.

Thanks for proving my point, I never made ANY claims on the performance of
a
1/4 wave dipole. Some said there was no such thing, I simply stated there
is. So you admit the same I stated earlier in the thread, any dipole is a
quarter wave at some frequency.



Ummmmmm, I think they are pretty confused about the issue, JJ. Let 'em be.

Big difference, you know nothing about the subject matter,
your Licenses is nothing more than a FREE WELFARE

people.


So, according to you, every single American who receives a ham license
from this day forward is actually receiving a welfare handout because he
or
she is mind challenged? Hardly, Bruce. The only mind challenged people
around here are those with views similar to yours.


You have to have a mind to be mind challenged, that leaves brucie out.



ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These guys would actually try to answer the
question: So, what is the best antenna?

CORRECT


You still need to work on reading comprehension, Bruce. By that response,
you either never intend to receive a ham license again or are admitting to
being mind challenged. Read it again and think about it.

Thus, Bruce is mind challenged.

He could have answered the fifth, but he doesn't know
the article of the constitution regarding self-incrimination.


LOL. I wonder what he will say about this when he has to get a new license
after the current one expires.

Hmmmm -

It's amazing, but I keep hearing these 'sour grapes' attitudes from
the old timers, both on the radio and in the newsgroups.

Fact is, if the Big Government changes the rules, and as a result
somebody gets a licence just like yours without having to jump through
all of the hoops that you did years ago, they still have a licence
that allows them to do the same thing that yours does.

In other words, it's equal. Maybe not in terms of effort, but in all
other respects and for all intents and purposes, equal.

That's a hard pill to swallow, especially if you pride yourself on
passing a 20 WPM code test to get your Extra, and it only takes 5 WPM
now. But, da rules is da rules, and someone who gets their Extra
tomorrow morning with 5 WPM can do exactly what you can do on the air
today. Same privileges, same modes, sames frequencies. Same licence!
And soon, when code is retired, it will be 0 WPM to get in and play.

Fact is, the FCC makes the rules, and you and I follow 'em. Simple as
that. Like it or not, you don't control the process. You live with
it, like everybody else. Time was, an Extra was WAY up there in the
amateur ranks (20 WPM is bloody hard!!) - today, it's simply a ticket
to use a small additional frequency allocation. Nothing more - no big
status thing to lord over everybody else! Still a lot of theory in
the test, but it can be done by memorizing the question bank answers -
I proved that a week ago Friday.

That's just the way it is, Friend - deal with it, or be bitter and
upset - it's your choice! Either way, as long as you're endlessly
debating the issue over here on Usenet, you're off the air - and we're
having a blast QSOing in your absence!

CB Plus - maybe, same as yours, after devaluation!

Sadly, Bruce (WA8ULX) isn't an old timer - his license is so new the ink
isn't even dry yet. He only tries to act like an old timer (or, at least,
the way he thinks they act). However, most real old timers are a lot more
civilized (the type of people you would be proud to have as a friend or
associate).
