I'm amazed that there hasn't yet been any discussion of N6LF's article.
His tests appear to demolish a lot of fondly-held beliefs (certainly
including my own), and to point the way to a better topband signal in
return for low cost and effort. I'm a recovering history major, though,
and I think all of us would profit from some active technical discussion
of the subject. How about it?
