Pallets in fields

Blah Blah Blah Blah

You "pull him like a gun!"

Young fellas, if you're looking for trouble, I'll accommodate you. Otherwise, leave it alone.

I call that bold talk for a one eyed fat man.

Just to make sure that no one reading this think we are serious and may not be familiar with these quotes, these "barbs and threats" we are exchanging are from the movie "True Grit", and Dave and I are just having a little harmless fun.

Gentlemen, science is not a joking matter. We should be serious in our pursuit of scientific knowledge.

Well,... we shall endeaver to be a bit more "serious"

So what do you think about my antenna "theory"

 

[dave1949]

It has become apparent that the quest for the meaning of the pallets has developed a major theory schism.

Upon careful review of all theories proposed to-date, I have deduced that they fall neatly into two mutually exclusive groups:

1) (Palletists) The intrinsic value pallet theory; the pallets themselves are the end-point objects of interest, or play a significant role in the over all purpose.

2) (Schemists) The pallets as artifact theory; the pallets are only the coincidental residue of some larger and grander scheme.

I see no hope of healing this Pallet Schism.

Now this does not come as a mere coincidence as the 6 meter band is often called "The Magic Band" as the modes of propagation on this band sometimes defy explanation. In other words, conditions occur that cannot always be predicted or even fully understood. The following links are just some of many that describe this "magic band"


Since it would seem that we are looking at a phenomenon that is not fully understood either, perhaps my inverted V antenna theory on the "magic band" may have a tie in here.

James,

I am in the process of assigning a value to the "Crackpot Index" for your theory, but I cannot assign a final value until you address two issues.

1. Based on my casual empiricism, antennas tend to be constructed from metallic substances rather than vegetative matter (i.e., wood). Your exposition fails to address the photographic evidence that suggests that the pallets are of wooden construction. Whether this omission on your part is inadvertent or willful is unclear. I will defer judgement on this matter until you provide an explanation.

2. Please list the concrete testable predictions derived from your theory.

Steve

PS -- you went on a scoring binge by your appeals to magic.

Amateur Radio Operators have been inducing RF currents into Inverted V's for decades.

A Sloping V antenna built to proportion to two inverted 40" X 48" pallets would have a frequency range probably in the Broadcast FM to low UHF range. If terminated correctly Sloping V antennas are highly directional at the take-off angle of the wire.
The theory for ham radio operators using a Sloping V in the HF or High Frequency (.5-30MHz) is that frequencies in that range bounce off the ionosphere back to Earth thereby increasing the range of the radio.
Being that VHF and UHF frequencies are used mainly for line-of-sight or point-to-point communications and don't bounce off the ionosphere, but rather penetrate it and keep going into space it could be that aliens set up temporary Sloping-Vs to communicate with their home world.

So what do you think about my antenna "theory"

Your "Palletist" wooden antenna theory, as so ably pointed out by Steve, sucks frass. :laughing:

It is widely known that the only thing wood conducts well is termites.
