Strays	Add a Stray!

I just read an article regarding an overseas DX Team that utilized 6' above ground radials, @ 12 per band, x 5 bands, with excellent results. Anyone hear of this application, and if so what were the results? w8dmc@yahoo.com

Questions Answers and Attitudes
A contributor asks, "Is it possible for someone to post a question without getting answers to questions not asked? We've all seen examples of this, followed by the predictable answer "pile up." Newbie says, "How high should I mount my G5RV? What is the best angle for the wires to slope down?" No one says, "Mount it at least 35' above the ground and drape the ends at around 20 degrees." -- Of course not. WAY too easy. Instead, comes criticism of the G5RV, SWR myths, "and you posted this in the wrong category" and let's not forget, "the no-code thing has totally screwed up this hobby." Contained in the minds of the experienced hams is a huge library of information. But the librarian would appear to be on vacation. Why don't we offer "wisdom" more intelligently?"

Shack Showcase	KD5OWQ

I thought I needed a Updated Shack showcase picture, the other one is a few months old, and even know I have not gotten any new ham gear, I do have a new computer monitor, and I just thought I would show it off in my new picture. Also you can see the ham stuff better in this newer pic..
