Well, I think that at least it's intriguing.  (THANKS Boomer, for the link!)
I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

Hey ThaDood,

Cool article. And I though X band top hat antennas were funky !

I just hope that it's not too little too late. Most tin can stations  are operating on a shoestring budget and may only be close to breaking even (or are even  gradually losing dough and are kept afloat by a  rich Sugar daddy. I know of two of these offhand ).

Even if they WANTED to experiment with new technologies, could they afford it ?
