I am the Great TEchNoDwEEb!!!! I remember when I was a rank General, I
almost gave up on ever putting together a station because I was pretty
well convinced it was impossible. After all, Those dipoles suck they
don't work DX and you have to have them up a hundred feet in the air the
Verticals suck because they aren't efficient and you have to be crazy to
put in a ground rod because radials are the only way to go and you have
to dig up your whole yard to put in radials and if you don't have at
least 120 of the darn things at a quarter wavelength the antenna won't
work for a darn and you have to use coax because ladderline is sensitive
to moisture and you'll lose all your power in the tuner and besides it's
so old school but the coax sucks because you have to make an antenna for
the specific band but traps suck because they don't use all the wire in
an antennas and who the heck ever thought you could put a stinkin' hf
antenna on a car and ever hope to work anyone with

it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How did you come up with those misconceptions :-) :-)


HOWL!!!! Perfect comeback Bill! Thanks, I needed that this afternoon! 8^)
