Michael,

Single Wire Vertical-Up-Leg 'connected' somewhere near

So he would only get "T" polarized signals right? No, no wait a minute,
he would get "L" polarized signals. This is so confusing. I know there
is a dead chicken in here somewhere.

Nothing interesting. Nothing useful.



Completely unlike your response to him.

I could say the same about you and in fact I just did.

You have anything to contribute to the news group? Nope.

Wow, the obvious answer went right over my head. Looking at your
subject line I was thinking more along the lines of a Tilted Bi-Polar
Chicken that had wind from eating moldy corn or something worse. That
would be a TBPC antenna.

I was all set to use a 6' solid brass spike into the Earth, but then I
remembered your recommendation. I ditched the 6' solid brass rod and used
some nylon strapping to secure a whole uncooked chicken to the brick
chimney. I did it in the rain, so I had to work quick. When I had the
chicken strapped on, I ran the receiving wire before I connected the ground
strap from the balun to the chicken. Just as I was hooking the ground strap
up from the balun to the chicken, the receiving wire got hit by lighting.
It fried the chicken and blew me off the roof. I landed flat on my back and
coughed up my Viagra. I need to get back up on the roof and try again.
Will a cooked chicken work as good as a raw one ???
