Paul wrote me his story so nice, that I think it is worth to bring here again:
I am 60 years old - a retired airline pilot whom has flown all over the world
from small turbo props, right up to
the Boeing 747 with over 21,000.0 flying hours.
I have been building antennas off and on now for 15 years at my various QTH's.
Most of the antennas I have built came from various antenna books which were
mainly stealth type antennas, as
most of my past QTH's were in deed restricted locations. eg . attic antennas ,
hidden wire antennas, vertical
antennas off of balconies, short dipoles with traps, the list goes on and on
and I have never been able to make
an antenna that for it's size can perform at all, or as well as, or
outperform this G5RV.
I moved to this location in Florida last year which has an acre and a half
and was able to build this G5RV
shortly thereafter.
After reading up on your other antennas and now this antenna. I decided to
build the RoomCap out of curiosity,
-- just to see how well it performed -- in the chance that if it did give a
reasonable account of itself, -- it would
be beneficial to all those hams that I know, that cannot put up a very visible
antenna -- as I remembered how
difficult and frustrating it was for me to just get on the air when I was in
Toronto. Well, I built it and I was
pleasantly surprised.
I am going to continue to test this antenna with the G5RV and keep recording
the results irregardless of what
anyone says.
If any of these armchair electronic communiction antenna experts want to keep
debunking it with their idea of
the laws of physics without reading all your theories on it--Well so be it,
with their ignorance . They obviously
have thousands of dollars invested in their huge beams and don't care about the
poor guys that have to live in
deed restricted areas, who could greatly benefit from this. It would be great
if they could keep an open mind
and just start listening to some of the other reports that will be coming in
from other builders.
Like I said before, I have built many many small and large wire antennas only
to have little to mediocre
performance. Your antenna just blew me away with it's performance.
Even though I am not an antenna expert - I know antenna performance when I see
it. I don't care if it defies
the laws of physics or you have come up with some new technological break
through -- it bloody works and
that's all there is to it . I really don't care if these so called experts
don't believe us. They can just keep their
ignoramist heads stuck in the sand and keep studying and memorizing the old
formulas in their old physics
books till they are blue in the face.
Thanks , -- Paul VE3UNF
