Paul VE3UNF was answering my question, if his report is a joke,
with the following reply:
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 G5RVshortly 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
