I fully expect in a few years the real truth will come out. No radials are better than 120 radials, and the less radials we use the better our signals will be.

(score: 1): Author: W8JITom@aol.com (W8JITom@aol.com); Date: Tue, 18 Feb 1997 21:56:57 -0500 (EST); It is impossible to place a reactive load across a SWR meter and make it read 1:1. Such talk is non-sense based on folklore. Incorrect values of readings at high SWR's are one thing, 1:1 SWR readings; /archives//html/Topband/1997-02/msg00273.html (9,427 bytes)
