  Mythbusting......
   
  Statement - you need to solder the ends of the dipoles because the loop in 
the end insulator and the wrapping of the wire back onto the antenna is a 
inductor and a capacitor...thus changing the resolate frequency of the dipole.
   
  True or False
   
  Myth or not

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't 
have any Common Sense - get some and use it.  If you can't find any common 
sense, ask for help from somebody who has some common sense.
