This was recently posted on the internet by one of hamdom’s self appointed 
experts:

      “The Joe Hams of this world . . . where currently 60% of them seem to be quite 
happy with an EFHW antenna, 30% with an EFRW (Random Wire) antenna, and 10% understand 
antenna technology.”

Is this anywhere near accurate?
Could it possibly be so?

Are 60% of the 779,545 US hams (467,727) and 60% of the 3.345 million World-wide hams (2 million) really 
“happy with” or “using” an EFHW?

Or another 30% (233,863 in the US and 1 million World-wide ) “happy with” or 
“using” an end-fed random wire?

That leaves only 334,569 who understand antenna technology!
Even with a ballot with room for write-in candidates!!

I must have missed the survey, and certainly wouldn’t have answered “yes” to the “are 
you happy with an end-fed half wave or random wire.”

Comments?
