  At the time I watched there was under 50 views.  A shame because the technical content is exceptional.

  I have learned a ton from your antenna modelling videos, thank you for making them. I just built a fan dipole after watching one of your older videos about them. Dropped my noise floor from S6 on my end fed random wire to S3, with no perceivable dip in signal strength on received signals. I've only been in the hobby for a little over year, and having people like you making content like this has been a huge boost to my learning. Thanks again.

  You explain things so marvelously and simply, with a bit of tech thrown in but you don't know it because the way you explain things.  I've been a ham for a while yet I know just the tip of all this.  Love watching your videos!

  This brought back memories, making so many (literally 100's of) wire antennas decades ago for ham radio.  That simulation software would have been KILLER, but PC hardware was just an idea back then.  Thanks!

  you explain things so well, you bring really hard concepts down to the basics and all that matters. I love your &quot;bananas:.

  Thank you,Callum! That video summed up my experience. &nbsp;I have had great success with the triangle up at 1 wavelength on 20 Meters and it gets out great and receives great! So cool. &nbsp;Thank you!
