Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

The best audio I have heard from a tuner is a Pioneer TX 900, a tuner which I use every day
A study of the schematics for the TX 900 shows why this is so, using common base transistor stages
and very clever use of feedback. My aerial is a discone and connected via a BNC at the tuners rear panel
establishing a 50- 75 ohm match.

Ah the Discone, a very clever design of wideband antenna.
Also very good as a wideband transmitting antenna
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

And boredom of staying in one place!Lol - that is the 'main house'. We own another two (in the UK) and rent them out, plus we have our family home in Tuscany. We should avoid homelessness for a while anyway!
Marco.
A real shame though that of your neighbours house.. that horrible 70s red-brick house in the background right. I hope you refuse to speak to them.

Yes they are a very good antenna for RX and TX http://www.antentop.org/016/files/kandoian_016.pdf
I also use one for TX with good filtering and achieves 1.2 to 1 SWR
The 10 to 1 bandwidth and low SWR relative to 50 ohm, as far as I know is unmatched by any other antenna type.
