Feeb did the snip-and-snark again!

So according to Feeb, a monopole antenna is a dipole antenna.

Glad that's all cleared up.

Yes, it fucking is.

Consider what an antenna (in 3-30Mhz) is supposed to produce.
It is supposed to produce a propagating electromagnetic (EM) wave.

What is an EM wave?

It is an oscillating electric field in space that goes up and
then goes down, etc., and there is there is no fucking way in
the universe to produce such a phenomenon (for 3-30Mhz) other
than a fucking dipole antenna.

Your fucking problem (among many other fucking problems) is
that you cannot understand that the basic dipole radiator has
been modified in many ways to produce such effects as
horizontal/vertical polarization and directional gain.

But whatever modification it is still a fucking dipole radiator.

Otherwise, the laws of Maxwell would be violated and that's
something that does not happen in the real world (your dumb-
fuck imagination may be excepted but your nobody gives
a flying fuck about your dumb-fuck imagination).

The case is closed.

Now don't bother me again about your stupid technical fantasies.

The very name _di_pole suggests that it is different than a _mono_pole. 
I imagine that in Larry Pietraskiewicz's world, there is no difference 
between a unicycle and a tricycle.

In Christopher Coleman's book, "Foundations of Radio for Scientest and
Technologists", there's a nice chapter on various kinds of antennas.
Section 8.5 is "The Monopole Antenna".

The equations in this book are pretty strenuous for guys like me that have not
studied calculus and differential equations in about 30 years.

It's called a "monopole" because that's the way it is constructed.

But, like all other antennas, it is essentially a dipole with the
other "pole" being the ground.

I've got one and only one QSL card. I'd thrown a transmitter together from 
scrap I found in the desert including salvaged wire from an old wiper 
motor and 12 gauge shotgun shells for coil forms, glass and aluminum foil 
caps. I think the closest I came to real components was a FET from 
RatShack. I was in Why, AZ and managed to hook up with a ham in Vegas. He 
said I was coming in 5 by 5 but was drifting. I thought to myself 'if only 
you could see the pile of junk I'm using for a transmitter.'

We had a BW TV which would toast a tube every time we came back from spending
summer vacation at our country house. It was very strange.
I would also complain about the high frequency noise from the flyback transformer.
Smack the side of the TV and it went away.

My dad and his best friend ran a TV repair biz on the side.
As it turns out he was a ham and had a Hallicrafters SX-100.
I used to listen to radio Moscow propaganda all the time.
I eventually got my novice license and then general.
Today I'm an amateur extra.

I'm an advanced. They don't make them like that anymore but I'm holding on 
to it. Back in the day I could barely manage the code for advanced and 
extra wasn't going to happen. Besides the exam was more administrative 
details than tech.

I don't remember the brand but I had a hand-me-down radio from the era 
when radios were large, decorative pieces of furniture. It had band 
switches and a complex semi-circular dial plus the magic eye.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_eye_tube

We had a big old elm tree in the backyard that was convenient, and long as 
I didn't foul my mother's clotheslines. 

We also had a TV early in the game. Fortunately there was a TV station to 
go with it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRGB

I sort of miss those home-grown shows like the Freddie Freihofer Show.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/catch-me-now/3500325341

For that matter, I miss Freihofer's in general. They made excellent 
chocolate chip cookies and hot cross buns during Lent.

Never really thought about that much, even though I learned later that 
Dad was a 'radioman' (Infantry Communications Sgt).  But putting that 
together now, it makes sense that I'd sometimes tag along with him to 
the local hardware store with some TV vacuum tubes to test to find which 
one(s) need to be replaced to get the TV running again.  I can also 
recall chastising him when he was helping with some wiring on my first 
house, where he hadn't thrown the breaker before starting work - his 
comment was "110 only tickles, but 220 throws you across the room".  I 
learned after my first 'tickle' to cut off the power (if one can) on 
household stuff, plus after working in the HP lab that there's a lot of 
hazards in the field...one of my earlier projects was to clear space in 
the lab for my work, which involved safely disposing of several tons of 
capacitors left over from another project ... think it ended up being 
around 14 pallets worth ... and thank God I found someone who actually 
wanted them, so it was a transfer instead of disposal ... I suspect a 
lot of them were probably filled with PCP based oils.

No idea, but IMO probably unlikely.  A neighbor teaches in the local 
High School, so I'll ask if they happen to know.  But I'd suspect that 
if it has survived at all, it was probably relegated to the Vocational 
school 20-30 years ago.

You never even made it to the third grade.

But you were eventually graduated for social reasons,
i.e. they didn't want to seat an 18 year old in the same
class with 8 year olds.

I don't think they remember even their high school physics. They may

that off!

Spoiled. Raised inside Class 1 cleanroom. Surrounded by Jewelries of his 
"The Mama And The Papa." :-)

Did they speak of 1800 Amp current in relation to a computer box? .. 
Hahhahhahhahh :) Fucking nincompoops. Even the EMP of a nuclear bomb 
creates only a current of less than 10 amps across the boards, which is 
good enough to destroy all appliances, computers, fighter jets, anything 
with electronic boards inside and within the range.
