There's some magic to this cap hat thingy, but I don't have time to get into it


There's some magic to this cap hat thingy, but I don't have time to get into it right now.  If I could afford it I'd love to give the Immortal some key time.  I use a Monkey made long shaft MM7 with MM capacitance hat and it does wonders on skip.  Local groundwave propagation remains the same against 9ft steel whip but with much higher power handling.  Don't knock what you don't truly know, physics was part of mother earth, we just put numbers to it to claim it, but its not all ours to have.  Bottom line, You can resonate almost anything by modifying components and materials.  Antennas look the way they do more out of a tug of war between form and function, but as we discover more the variables which can affect propagation, power and efficiency, antennas will someday, look nothing like they look today.  More later...
