[Antennas] Random Wire

Rick, regarding your plea of guilty, it is accepted unanimously.

You have no idea  what you are talking about and certainly have no
idea who Wes N7WS is.

If anyone needed to do his homework before popping off (US technical
expression) in a public forum, it is you.

Shame!

I know what a dipole is: a length of wire split into two with a
trasnmission line attached at the split, but what do you mean by
"random wire?"

This question really surprises me...I wonder to what extend the depth
of knowledge is required to gain a Ham Licence in the USA...even more
than that, the lack of further reading on such a fascinating subject
as antennas after getting the license..
Wes, I do not know how long you have had your license and I am not in
any way trying to flame you personally but I would have thought that
in your search for knowledge, to be able to sit the exam and gain your
licence, that you would have to have come across this term "random
wire" in the books. Whether it was before you sat the exam or even
after you gained your licence.  If you were interested enough in the
hobby you would further read the books to upgrade and then you surely
would have come across the term "random wire".
I plead ignorance here as I am not a citizen of the USA but it seems
to me the amount of knowledge in general, required to gain a ham
licence in your country, seems so small that i wonder when it will get
to the stage of just paying your money over the counter for it...
This is my personal opinion...

who allows the protester to burn the flag.
