Bravo!

Ask Rick DJ0IP to send you a copy of Prof Cebik's rant on atnenna marketing. It is priceless.


And... I can safely and honestly say,
"I have HEARD everyone I have WORKED on my antennas..."       :-)

I thought you were going to rant about the marketing of antennas in
advertising.

I have long considered the ads and accompanying breathless "reviews" of
antenna products as the biggest swindle in amateur radio, one reason I
resist store bought antennas.  It is identical to what I've seen in
Bicycling Magazine and SCUBA, too, with names changed to protect the
guilty.
