BBi explains antennas. (put on your high boots)

Did mr bbi send a cease and desist letter? He's done that before.
I figured a better way than his idea, I tied both ends of my coax together. That way it’s a loop, energy is constantly circulated. It doesn’t have to go back and forth, it can just make a loop and I’m pretty sure it can also grow in size.
You just hook one end to your radio and talk, quickly remove the coax and hook it back to itself. Let it simmer. Then connect one end quickly to the antenna, bam!! there’s your dinner.
Your communication is delayed a little but your signal grows due to overlap. I’m experimenting with hooking a 9v battery to the coax too, I think that will make more power also.
BBi ain’t got nothing on me.

The pic of the micro fans were almost lost forever due to a crash on another forum. Luckily a friend had them saved to his PC. This is a DM 8 pill that he reworked for someone.
I want to say the owner of the amp posted the pics 5 to 7 years ago. I'm sure he's learned a lot since then.
There used to be a Facebook group called little fans of bbi but he complained enough and Facebook put an end to it.
The owner didn't think it was funny. I believe that is his work because he was big about "upgrading" parts. The big 5 watt 100 ohm resistors on the feedback circuits and are not DM. They should be 2 watt 100 ohm. These resistors get smoking hot if an amp goes into oscillation. The upgrade is an attempt to hide a problem.
What he did with the splitters and combiners is not DM. Some idea he dreamed up that didn't work. More 5 watt resistor and some sandbar resistors there. Those hide an imbalance. DM has 2 watts on their splitters and combiners. When I work on an amp I put 1/2 watts in there for testing. If they get warm after you hammer on it for a few minutes you have an imbalance.
The cool looking chokes from the output transformers to B+ have his name all over them. It's an inductor. Looking cool doesn't make it work better.
