Hi Guy, Gosh---and no offence meant here, believe me---but I sure am glad that I got active on the band FIRST, and BEFORE I read your "rant"...! Hi Hi Back before I knew any better & when I started to get semi-serious about Top Band DX'ing in the 80's, I thought that I was the proverbial "cock of the walk", living on a suburban lot with my inverted "L", and two---count 'em, TWO!---counterpoise ground wires. I sure had fun, alright, despite my ignorance---and I worked a bit of long-haul stuff on the band, too... Sometimes a bit of newbie enthusiasm can (almost!) match-up favourably with engineering realities...or has anyone ever tried telling a bumblebee that, scientifically, it is NOT supposed to be able to fly...?! : >) ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
