This thread just \"feels\" like a\nre-hash of an \"engineer's view vs. real world results\" argument. Like when I\nwas told here - by engineers - that it mattered how I twisted my Arrow while\nworking the sats. \"Ya gotta take polarization into account, Clint - there's\na 22db difference when you turn your antenna 90 degrees - a tremendous\nperformance hit if you don't take this into account ... \"\n>\n> Yet in the real world of demonstrating workin' the birds, there's no such\nperformance degradation. I have hundreds of witnesses to this fact: Capture\nSO-50 and AO-51 with the Arrow and operate TX and RX while twisting the\nantenna in different angles doesn't change the great reception and\ntransmission quality.\n>\n> If you are in the market for an Arrow, I simply suggest that you use it as\noffered to you. You will be pleased with its 2M and 440 amateur bands\nperformance. And leave the modding of the elements w-a-y on the bottom of\nyour \"things to do\" lists.\n>\n> Clint Bradford\n>\n> ----------------------------------\n> Clint Bradford, K6LCS\n> http://www.clintbradford.com\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
