I can go back 5 years and find the same RHF posts.

What's so wrong with posting individual URLs? If you aren't interested
in the info, why bother clicking on it? Newbies, the ones that might
benefit the most from such actions, may not understand how to properly
conduct a wide-ranging search. Sometimes the search engines bury you
in URLs unrelated to what you're looking for. Castigating RHF and
DXAce simply because they post links seems to be focusing negativity
on the MOST USEFUL things those guys do in here. You'd think that you,
more than most, would be encouraging these guys to spend more time
posting links instead of ridiculing YOU daily.

Punctuation? I teach public speaking and I find that most people that
even try to have perfect grammar are suffering from delusions
regarding their own self-grandeur. Understandability is the key and I
don't have any problem understanding what RHF is trying to say. He may
not be the best speller in the world, but his efforts at disseminating
antenna info hardly are suffering from any non-standard spelling or
punctuation. There are many contributors in here with good punctuation
and spelling, but nothing of any real value to read.

If you go back five years, you'll see that RHF was posting DIFFERENT
links back then. To be honest, I think the quality of his links has
improved significantly. To be honest, going back three years doesn't
show a whole lot of evolution transpiring in your posts. Talk about
"monkey chatter"....

To be honest, RRS is infinitely better than it was in the mid-90s. The
racists and neo-Nazis that use to make about half the posts in here
have disappeared. If you don't like RRS, there are now plenty of other
places (with moderation!) where �you can get info.

Do you really believe, David, that your own posts convey as much
valuable info as do at least some of the posts of Steve and Roy? I'm
truly sorry that you've been picked on as much as you have, but your
posts are NOT the reason I've been reading this RRS without posting.

I know I'm way less rude than DX Asshole. �I know that proper

speaks from personal experience.

1. Passive aggression can be as irritating (and as ridiculous) as
direct aggression. Both some of the most evil and stupid people I've
ever met were far less rude than Steve Lare. Even rude people can be
useful sources of information. (Thanks for today's Top News link,
Steve!)
2. I'm visually impaired. Check the archives. My R-75 has the voice
mod. RHF's stuff don't bother me. Why do you feel that you speak for
the visually-disabled?
3. You would think that a professional pseudo-journalist, like
yourself, would realize that providing contradictory links shows
respect for democratic free choice. Let the reader discern which they
choose to believe.
4. If the filter is going to be that we should be limited to
discussing
only that which is experienced-based, why are you still here? Are you
really suggesting that your real experience with shortwave radio comes
anywhere near the real-world DXing experience of Steve Lare or the
real antenna info being facilitated by RHF? I think these guys are
winning on the level of who has the most useful personal experiences
to convey.

David, exactly, what is your role in the community, again? Are you
here to tell us that we're members of a dead hobby?

Congratulations.

again. DX waving a hand.


Oh great! A big welcome back to another faux individual! The guy who claimed to be
a PhD!

Now, he claims to be 'visually impaired'. Ask him, and ask the State of Kentucky
if he has a drivers license.

Crap, I wear glasses, therefore, I must be 'visually impaired' as well.

Cry me a f00kin river.

Here's another perfect example of a trouble maker throwing the first
stone that could lead to endless threads of name calling and threats.

Wade through the off topic posts, the political bickering and admonishments,
and there isn't much here. Far better for the yammerers to be silent for
a time than to constantly spew. And yes, you will see three or four
posters, including the bozo "RHF", in the thick of all that drivel.

There was a time when if someone asked a simple question, they'd be
told to look it up themselves. But nowadays, this newsgroup is full
of people who do that work for the lazy, merely posting links. And
when people do that, who's to know whether they know anything or not?
There is no value in posting such links, because the original poster
should be doing that work themselves. But instead, we get all these
link posters, and nobody around to really address the question that
may not be properly asked.

The only reason this bozo RHF is getting accolades is because
the newsgroup has decayed so much that many have left, and a new
wave that doesn't know better has moved in. SOmeone who can't keep
his mouth shut is bound to dominate a newsgroup, and that's what people
are reacting to. Look between the lines, and there is little of substance
there, and the only reason he becomes a "valuable source" is because the
good posters of the old days have faded away, so there's nothing better
than a bozo posting links.

A newsgroup is not healthy if only a handful dominate. Drive off a wide
range of readers, and the newsgroup declines, because as long as people
are reading a newsgroup, they may reply when they actually have something
to add, so some obscure topic gets a real answer instead of another
stupid link. Or that person who only replies a few times a year may
have some obscure bit of knowledge that few know, so if they tune out,
there goes the knowledge.

It's telling that the bozo RHF never looks things up in this newsgroup,
he's constantly linking to other sources of information.

Congratulations, you've written the definitive comment on the state of
this group. It's become a perfect example of the lowest common
denominator principle.


Like yourself, I used to make numerous on-topic
posts but it's hardly worth the effort anymore.


Of course not! Like most of the debutante, malcontent, and faux posters you'd
actually rather sit and whine.

In reality, you probably don't have anything to contribute anyway.

A tip for you: Nobody, and I mean NOBODY is stopping YOU from posting ANYTHING.

I was Dx'ing before you knew what the word meant. I made more on-topic
posts here during the past ten years than most, certainly more than you,
so don't lecture me about what I have or could contribute. Go back and
look at all the contributors that used to make useful posts here and
you'll see that almost all of them are gone. They left because of
'people' (I use the word loosely) like you with a Jekyll and Hyde
personality, who think they can act like a cretin one moment and then
expect to be taken seriously when they post something on-topic. All of
your supposed Dx'ing knowledge isn't worth the grief and insult of
wading through your endless BS.

Your posted logs on Tanzania back in the summer were awesome. Got me
another country!

Well, you do mean Zanzibar, correct? At any rate, congratulations on a new one. Don't
let the naysayers get ya down!

One thing I've noted of late is that 11735 is sometimes absent. Must be they have
occasional transmitter problems. But, when they are on, they do have some interesting
music, and of course the sometimes English at 1800.

English was noted today at 1800 to around 1809 or so from Spice FM.

David - Many of My Posts Focus On Helping The Newbie
Shortwave Radio Listener (SWL) - So They May Simply
Not Interest You -Ignore Me- ~ RHF

- I have no idea what RHF's personal knowledge of antennas entails.

David - OK - Well in that 'respect' We Are Even : Most of the Time
I Don't Know What I Know Either. :o)

Actually my personal Knowledge of Shortwave Antennas is
rather limited to the Practical Application of these three things :
# 1 - Wire Antenna Element
# 2 - Earthen Ground Rod
# 3 - Feed-in-Line

- I know he puts up links to antennas that don't work very well,

David - That is a matter of 'opinion' : What Works Well For One
-may not- Work Well -or- Be Practical For Another.

For the most part Shortwave Antennas are the Practical Application
of Science : That 'manifest' themselves as an Electro-Mechanical
Art Form.

- are sometimes overpriced, etc.

David - The reality is that 'some people' are NOT Do-It-Your-Self-ers
and simply want to BUY a 'good' Antenna -or- "The Best" Antenna for
Shortwave Radio Listening (SWL). For them the Antenna is not
"The End" : It is simply "The Means" to the End of Listening and
Enjoying 'Their' Shortwave Radio. {A Relaxing Hobby / Pass-Time}

Most of the Antennas here* will meet their needs.
* Shortwave Antenna webpage from Universal-Radio.Com
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/sw_ant.html
Posting just this webpage usually leads to a few more
Questions by the Newbie :
Dipole Antenna or Longwire Antenna ?
Dipole Antenna or Sloper Antenna ?
Active Antenna or Passive Antenna ?

- He just seems to be repeating things.

With every new day comes a Post by a Newbie asking Questions
and seeking Answers : Each One is a New Customer for the Same
Old Information that bears Repeating Time and Time Again.

- FYI I used to provide the bulk of EE language loggings
- for a now-defunct DXer magazine.

David - I am really not a Technical Person; just a plain old
Shortwave Radio Listener (SWL).

My Posting Goal is : Keep It Simple And Practical {KISAP}
Don't Lose the Newbie in a lot of Technical Stuff that they
do not need to hear : In their Quest To Simple Hear Better
and Hear More on Their Shortwave Radio.

- I logged Tahiti's little flea-power on 15.XXX in downtown Houston,
- in the daytime, on one of my 2 R-390As, and my 120'
- steel random wire. Confirmed.

David - I just Listen to the Radio and the vast majority of the
Shortwave Radio Logging that I Post are those Eazy-to-Hear
Shortwave Radio Stations that any Newbie with a 'good'
Portable Shortwave Radio with a Whip Antenna could hear.
-Note- I do this in the hope that they will try to Hear the
same Broadcaster; and having done so become more
interested in the Hobby of Shortwave Radio Listening.

- This was back in the late '80s, when the Sun was spottin' and
- the Cold War has hoppin'. SWBC was still viable back then.
- GHFS was almost as entertaining. Since then, it's been steadily
- downhill, both propagation-wise and target wise.

David - I still find Interesting Things to Listen To on the Shortwave
Radio; and still Enjoy Listening to the Shortwave Radio to this very
day.

I will make a 'separate' post dealing with the remaining Going-Off
The-Deep-End statements :

- The cultural aspect of SWL cannot be disregarded and frankly
- I'm shocked that so many "American" people here are listening
- to other cultures but not hearing the message.

- The USA is the greatest threat to world peace.

- What! Impossible!

- I make no apologies for being annoying to bigots.
