[Elecraft] Antenna Quandary

[Edward Mccann]

Concur.

Slack reasonable cut.

No dumb questions, just dumb answers, from time to time.

But I’m amazed at the restraint shown by many who are avoiding the tithe of arms-appointed expert, especially when we have a passel of Big Swinging Dudes on the line.

The query might have been a bit more foucssed, or tailored to the K line. But maybe Santa Cruz has a proprietary dipole in the back room I missed.

I dunno... "Is the Pink Panther a lion" is up there in essential dumbitude.
