Hope to see you in the CQ WPX Contest this weekend.

I will be operating "DM5P".

MODERN ANTENNAS

 A new paradigm for building antennas! 

"Modern Antennas" is the title of a new chapter I am currently writing for my web site.

I find it frustrating that my latest copy of the ARRL HANDBOOK and the ARRL ANTENNA BOOK both still show the same old antenna construction pictures that they were showing when I got my first license, 50 years ago.

My offer to QST Magazine to write an article on this topic was rejected with the following:

• They will not publish an article written by me because I work for an antenna company.

I understand the need for keeping advertising out of the article content, but I see no reason to bar anyone from contributing neutral content.

Alas, my only recourse is to publish my ideas here on my own web site.

I promise to keep it brand neutral as much as possible, and will show other sources of this material (in addition to our company) whenever possible.  

Events I am attending this year:

• HAM RADIO 2013 in Friedrichshafen, Germany

• National Ham Fest in Nottinghamshire, England

• TBD
