[Elecraft] April QST: review and The Secret is Out

[Bill Coleman N2BC]

It took a sting of posts this morning for the 'light' to come on - my QST 
has not arrived yet.

My very first April QST was back in the early 60s. There was an article 
about tapering a single wire feedline to concentrate the power going to the 
antenna, full of formulas to derive the proper lengths and diameters.  After 
crunching the numbers with my trusty sliderule, I took it in to my math 
teacher.  We worked on it together, she concluded there was an error in the 
formula as the answer was always zero.

I then asked my elmer about it - he is still laughing.

Happy Spring to all!
