He responded to your post that way because you are full of it. Most of
what you posted is either wrong, off topic or unhelpful. Take your
pick.

Just about anyone reading rec.radio.shortwave has connected some wire
to a portable radio and gotten an improvement in being able to hear a
weak signal.

About the only right, on topic comment you made out of a long post was
about signal to noise being most important factor in the receiving
antenna system.

AND...

I'm not somebody's old wife.

I'm not a CB'er.

I have a clear head.

I understand how BALUNs work.

I did not imagine it or indulge in wishful thinking and the improvement
wasn't just by chance.

I'm not waiting to buy a Chinese portable.

I understand the economics of electronic engineering.

Since most of your 119 line post is pure disregard for anyone else's
experience or opinion I may have missed some.

If you can't make a non condescending on topic post then go away please.

Don't take offense to Richard, believe it or not, I have kinda grown to like his banter, do you like Shakespeare? Richard does that to... all joking aside, Richard is ok, he is just different...

But, thanks for your post... I am glad others have "wondered" my "wonders" and experimented as I...

Warmest regards,

Hi OM,

That was not me, and given that inaccuracy in reporting (says
something doesn't it?) makes the following suspect:

This last comment of course, is prophetic by example with an obvious
negative expectation. ;-)

You guys are a crack-up, you have others which read this newsgroup, calling me Brett in other newsgroups... I give up, I have began answering to it... grin
I expect anyway now for the FBI to show up at my door with a complete list of aliases I have used in the past and begin an interrogation of me--with lights in my face and rubber hoses--in the back room... grin

.... asking me if I know where Osama is... he's my dad yanno... roflol

Boring.

Whatever Brett did to his posting apparatus, the text now falls off
the right edge of the screen (in an Agent reader), requiring back and
forth scrolling to read anything.

It increaded more
when I placed the telescoping antenna
on the guy wire.
it was magic

One good thing about his HTML. He uses a tiny font that I can't
see
well enough to read. I guess he's here mouthing off after the way
they
told him off in one of the rec.radio newsgroups.

Actually, it may be, and it may have had nothing to do with that guy
wire/ground wire you were visually looking at (well, not directly--and
it serving as an antenna)... in the presence of VERY STRONG magnetic
fields, rf fields can be dramatically warped and rf fields bent and
focused... and, it is not uncommon to find hundreds of amps (in some
instances thousands have been recorded), at a very low voltage, around
such poles... but that is a whole different story which has not been
investigated well yet...
