It took a sting of posts this morning for the 'light' to come on - my QST has not arrived yet.

My very first April QST was back in the early 60s. There was an article about tapering a single wire feedline to concentrate the power going to the antenna, full of formulas to derive the proper lengths and diameters. After crunching the numbers with my trusty sliderule, I took it in to my math teacher. We worked on it together, she concluded there was an error in the formula as the answer was always zero.

I then asked my elmer about it - he is still laughing.

Happy Spring to all!

I think they are 3rd cousins, twice removed.
