[SOC] EZNEC question

Tue Apr 13 00:55:01 2004

Wait a minute, John.

I just got a 20 lb cannister of phlogiston refilled.  And it's the Easter
Bunny, dammit, that brings the chocolate eggs, not the G5RV.  I might add
the healthy little bunnies that live in our back yard have been dropping
chocolate eggs for some time, none big enough to qualify as Easter eggs.  We
calls them "smartnin' pills" because after eating one, you are smart enough
not to eat the second.

Seriousness aside, I would like to have model running to know more precisely
what the beast does _not_ do and under what circumstances.  Given that real
wires have been observed and reported, it should be possible to model what
they do in that configuration.  Unless, of course, the modeling program is
the imaginary part.

Bill, it's probably time for you to know.  The G5RV antenna is one of those
things in science sort of like the Luminiferous �ther, Phlogiston, N-Rays,
and the Luxembourg Effect.  Y'see, the G5RV is a myth.  It really doesn't
exist.  I know people have been telling you all about it since your
childhood, but it's time to understand that the G5RV does not bring
chocolate eggs and candies to your home on Easter (nor does it leave coins
under your pillow in exchange for extracted teeth, for that matter).

This question seems to arise every Easter.  I suppose it's because of the
Z-match transformer that most people don't use, and the generally cruciform
design of the thing.
