[Antennas] B&W AC 1.8-30 vs BWD terminated antennas?

[Pastor-kc1di]

Hi Bill, 
I Was not defending the B&W antenna just saying that the comment by Chris
was not accurate ( Chris had said that no antenna with a Resistor is any
good.) or something to that effect. 
When were you on Okinawa I spent a little time there myself.

Dave, the V-Beam and Rhombic use resistors for a reason. Having a resistor
at the feed point is about like putting a dummy load at the end of the feed
line and hanging wires out to radiate.
 
Had V's (terminated and unterminated) and Rhombics in the USAF in Okinawa.
They have a place and where needed, do very well.
 
A dipole works better than any B&W antenna with the resistor at the feed
point.
