I am tired of looking at the recent messages about PC time keeping.  Good
stuff, but lets move on.....

What are your dipole secrets?  The dipole is one of the simplest antennas in
ham radio.  What are your secrets of putting up, tuning, pruning and
operating from a dipole.  Now, don't laugh.  I bet there are some pretty
good comments out there.

For instance...(Red Herring across the path)  what about those guys who
insist that you must have a half-wave or a multiple thereof of coax on the
dipole to make it an effective radiator?

Or, how do you get bandwidth on a dipole?

How come mine don't work?

Just a new discussion guys.
