60% ? That would be the ones not on the air. 30% ? Those are the ones using Baofeng handhelds with no idea what the rubber duckie does. 10% ? Those might be the ones actually using an hf antenna and

I think 10% is quite high. I certainly don't, although I can build and erect antennas that work. Actually, I don't think anyone understands antenna technology. Black magic is involved and requires so

I don't know why you would give enough credence to a poll like this to bother with it, but considering that a very high percentage of hams (at least in the U.S.) primarily use VHF/UHF handitalkies, t

All hams or just those who are active in some way? Active hams or active hams who are on HF? I can't speak for numbers elsewhere but in this area more than 50% of those who are on the air at all are

In my mind, that's questionable data.  In our local club, I only know of ONE lone member who uses an EFRW antenna and that's because he lives in a neighborhood with an HOA and the single 33' length o

Speaking for myself only, for the past dozen years or so, I've used nothing but wire antennas: verticals, EFHW, ladder-line fed doublets, and coax-fed dipoles. I've worked a lot of stuff and been pre

I'd tend to agree that it's a baloney survey statistic. Particularly for the very simple reason that if the source and raw data aren't available, it's likely that the interpretation was "conveniently
