Sorry you don't approve. In my next life I'll try to do better.


Look. I am not trying to deny the theory that is taught in school. I am
simply relating to many years of theory vs. practical experience that is
not taught in school. At marine VHF wavelengths at 25 watts the
difference between 50 ohms, 52 ohms or 72 ohms of characteristic impedance
of the transmission line is a none event in terms of transmission or
reception capacities. If you can prove otherwise, please do so.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass. I have fooled around with ham radio since
1955 and actually that's where all of my "practical" experience with
antennas has been derived.

If you guys are happy with the results that you are getting, that's all that
counts.

Sorry to have interfered.
