[Antennas] What I have learned about antennas from this list.

2003年2月17日 08:27:31 -0600

IT AINT ALL THAT BAD.
About once a year, for about a week, Egos swell and something like this
blows up. BUT THEN IT BLOWS OVER and the next 51 weeks are GREAT antenna
ideas, questions, speculation, experimentation, comparisons, experiences,
etc, and etc.
I am willing to overlook the one week each year that the anal retentive blue
haired old farts blow hot air, for the other 51 weeks of GOOD STUFF.
 IT AIN'T ALL THAT BAD.
