    In the 1990-1991 I was a repair technician in a Swedish cellular phone company. I happened to find a DDRR antenna for 450MHz band. The low profile and copper base plate made it perfect for mount on top of a fiberglass top box on my car. No extra earth was needed. Other benefits was low reflected power, no variation of direction and vertical polarization. Power output was 15W and it worked as a charm! A curious thing happened during tests of the antenna at my workstation. I held the antenna on my hand and kept it in height with my eyes. While making a call my eyesight shifted from a steady picture to a “floating” one. Studying my instruments become hard and my bench behaved as a Dali painting. Moving like a slow wave on a beach. Astonished by the phenomena I starred at the instrument, don’t knew what to think. Slowly raising my hand so the antenna was over my head, my vision stabilized and the instrument become readable again. Just to ensure what was going in, I lowered my hand and the vision become a wave again. I found the antenna working very well indeed.

    If you feed a dipole with coax without a balun and without a choke, I'd think it'll work better if you keep the now radiating coax along the dipole leg where you connected the coax shield, since they both make one of the dipole legs.

    RIP Stan, Sounded like a target-rich environment, thawing out roaches and making them pay twice! double plus good. I keep 91% isopropyl in a flask-shaped squirt bottle, set on stream. If you hit them with a couple of shots it defiantly disorientates and slows them down. With multiple hits, they will usually die. Pick up w/tp and smash. 🪳

    In Missouri, I know a lot of people who have contracted COVID-19. A fair number have died, others recovered and some are still struggling. I got very ill a few months ago. The next day, I went to the hospital and tested positive for COVID. I was sent home. It was a long, slow recuperation. This after two vaccinations. My wife also was ill, and subsequently got pneumonia, recovered and then got pneumonia again and nearly died. A lot of prayers were said and she recovered. The doctors were not expecting her to live. COVID is real and deadly. This is a laboratory engineered virus. Millions are dead. It is still out there and can be fairly virulent. So be careful. I have relatives and friends across the USA and in Europe who have contracted COVID-19.

    The thing about these 45 to 50 words per minute code pilots is that 10 years from now they won’t be around. Unfortunately, while CW has of late attained a certain level of “hip-ness,” the hobby is not producing the code fanatics in the same numbers as 50 years ago.

    I have absolutely no problems with my OCF 80-6 meter dipole while there no rain. Once it rains my TX performance goes bad. My RX performance stays the same. I used the VNA wet and dry and I see no change. The question is when I put out 100 into the antenna when wet what's causing degradation? Very odd.

    Stan, I just found your vids on the tube. I noticed no vids over the past 2 years. Hope all is good on your end. I have a question, I have been off the air for 40+ years and just started up again. I feel like a Novice with all the new tech-stuff out there. Trying to catch up on code and rtty. Is there anything new that can feed into, and out of, a computer? Code to text in, RTTY in.? Thanks for all your informative vids.

    I would like to try to feed a moxon beam with open wire. One guy uses PVC for his square magnetic loops, he mentions that loop diameter is extremely important. He covers the pvc in aluminium foil as the driven element. I wonder if anyone has driven a magnetic loop from open wire?
