Hello everyone.
I have just read a bulletin 'To HF', titled The story of a "chicken ladder".
This, from Klaus? has made my day!
What a wonderful story; a mixture of practical ham experiment, together with
some supporting theory from an accomplished writer, and with a good dose of
natural humility. The last ingredient in this mixture being the 'icing'.
I hope those reading this entertaining bit of radio practice will see the
wisdom involved, and the technical reality of the message. I would like to
have the title and source of the article mentioned, if that is possible.
I have taken an interest in antennas and feeding them, and the use of a
'balun' is always an important consideration. I also seem to remember a
"chicken ladder" being used in a farm-yard situation with real chickens,
but Klaus's application would confound most birds that hop, not walk!
Coincidently, a bulletin from Renato, IW0EJJ, asking for bulletins in English,
("Request" To All@WW), is another example of Ham friendship that will be
appreciated my many of us who are limited to our one and only language.
My thanks to Klaus and Renato.
73. Dick. VK3ABK.
ps. The last comment about "ladies and the gunpowder" has me 'lost'.
