Stan was a good Elmer. I spoke with him several times, even exchanged a letter with him. Stan became a SK several days after his last video was made. RIP Stan, and thank you (and RUclips) for passing on the knowledge.

Kudos - hope you're still alive.

Hard to believe it's been 3 years...

RIP Stan. I hope these videos stay on RUclips forever!! Robert K5TPC

I love Stan's videos!! I hope they stay on RUclips forever!! Robert K5TPC

I lLOVE Stan's video's!!! I hope they stay up on RUclips forever!!! Robert K5TPC

love your tech. talk

I would have loved to have met Stan.

RIP Great man, I'll be back here to learn more and more from you

kinky! >:3

Gotta love Stan! I thought he was going to talk about the Grateful Dead. Not the dead band syndrome.

In the 1990-1991 I was a repair technician in a Swedish cellular phone company. I happened to find a DDRR antenna for 450MHz band. The low profile and copper base plate made it perfect for mount on top of a fiberglass top box on my car. No extra earth was needed. Other benefits was low reflected power, no variation of direction and vertical polarization. Power output was 15W and it worked as a charm! A curious thing happened during tests of the antenna at my workstation. I held the antenna on my hand and kept it in height with my eyes. While making a call my eyesight shifted from a steady picture to a “floating” one. Studying my instruments become hard and my bench behaved as a Dali painting. Moving like a slow wave on a beach. Astonished by the phenomena I starred at the instrument, don’t knew what to think. Slowly raising my hand so the antenna was over my head, my vision stabilized and the instrument become readable again. Just to ensure what was going in, I lowered my hand and the vision become a wave again. I found the antenna working very well indeed.

Ive read your books about electronics. RIP 🙏

My question is, is this dangerous? I know it has to be something vibrating in my home..

I unable to find how Stan died. Does anybody know?

Guessing because they are simply too magnetic

Sorry to hear Stan when silent key. love his videos. Most have the comments removed now, this is also sad because we can't see his replies or clarifications on the antenna being discussed. subscribed 1/2024

Mmmmm😊

Occasionally I'll get a video suggestion, or searh a topic, and it leads me back to Stan Gibilsco. So glad we have these videos of Stan. But still makes me really sad that he's gone.

Rock on Stan. We need as many young people to learn. Every thing that was useful in Cold War emergency will always be good to know. KF7RTU

Rest in peace Stan! My dad went SK 21 hours ago. Take good care of him. May he rest in peace with you and the other nice ppls. 73

There are always some people to complicate simple things. Regards

Miss you! RIP stan.

So, an 80m antenna would cost around $50,000 Maybe Elon can make one, not me.

If you feed a dipole with coax without a balun and without a choke, I'd think it'll work better if you keep the now radiating coax along the dipole leg where you connected the coax shield, since they both make one of the dipole legs.

Rest in peace Stan, you were a ham radio god.

Someone else is using w0gle these days

Wake up dude

73 Stan, rest in peace.

oh no Stan, Thank you for all your knowledge my friend. W6LDM

Hi Stan. Just found your channel & thought I'd say Hi. Best regards & 73 from Scott W3CV

Hi Stan

RIP Stan, Sounded like a target-rich environment, thawing out roaches and making them pay twice! double plus good. I keep 91% isopropyl in a flask-shaped squirt bottle, set on stream. If you hit them with a couple of shots it defiantly disorientates and slows them down. With multiple hits, they will usually die. Pick up w/tp and smash. 🪳

Thanks for the mica capacitor video. I needed the info!

Fully enjoy your videos I learn a lot from you on long wire anteneas I use them for my vintage radios from ww2 and up so I learned tonight to ground my long wire antes makes sense to me you exsplain things that I can understand perfectly how are you doing ?cheers

Stan.... wherever you are.... thank you for your wonderful contribution to the world. Best wishes from New Zealand. ZL3ABX.

In Missouri, I know a lot of people who have contracted COVID-19. A fair number have died, others recovered and some are still struggling. I got very ill a few months ago. The next day, I went to the hospital and tested positive for COVID. I was sent home. It was a long, slow recuperation. This after two vaccinations. My wife also was ill, and subsequently got pneumonia, recovered and then got pneumonia again and nearly died. A lot of prayers were said and she recovered. The doctors were not expecting her to live. COVID is real and deadly. This is a laboratory engineered virus. Millions are dead. It is still out there and can be fairly virulent. So be careful. I have relatives and friends across the USA and in Europe who have contracted COVID-19.

So long Stan ..._._

Thanks for all the books and videos, Stan. I learned a lot from you ...-.-

The thing about these 45 to 50 words per minute code pilots is that 10 years from now they won’t be around. Unfortunately, while CW has of late attained a certain level of “hip-ness,” the hobby is not producing the code fanatics in the same numbers as 50 years ago.

I have absolutely no problems with my OCF 80-6 meter dipole while there no rain. Once it rains my TX performance goes bad. My RX performance stays the same. I used the VNA wet and dry and I see no change. The question is when I put out 100 into the antenna when wet what's causing degradation? Very odd.

Stan, I just found your vids on the tube. I noticed no vids over the past 2 years. Hope all is good on your end. I have a question, I have been off the air for 40+ years and just started up again. I feel like a Novice with all the new tech-stuff out there. Trying to catch up on code and rtty. Is there anything new that can feed into, and out of, a computer? Code to text in, RTTY in.? Thanks for all your informative vids.

Hiya I'm brand new to short wave radio and I got my self an all band radio for around 100 pounds sturling and I live in a block of flats and I carnt have 60 foot of wire sticking across from my home to a tree but I was hoping to just bye a small loft antena because I am high up I may get a good signal Im not transmiting just receveing any idea 💡 what I can do please from central uk robin hood country out my friend...

Amen! Thank you for the knowledge you've shared with us all. I have learned much from you and appreciate your videos. I will meet you one day where the radio waves travel to. May God bless you. - James

I would like to try to feed a moxon beam with open wire. One guy uses PVC for his square magnetic loops, he mentions that loop diameter is extremely important. He covers the pvc in aluminium foil as the driven element. I wonder if anyone has driven a magnetic loop from open wire?

Good to see you Stan and nice to be able to leave comments. I want to learn more about open wire, how to match it to the antenna and how to calculate the balun for the tuner. Ideally i would build the antenna and try to find out it's inductance, then build open wire ladder line to match that, finally i would like to measure the impedance of the ladder line + the balanced antenna to be able to calculate the balun ratio. I was hoping to use a VNA but i can't find much info on using a VNA with balanced antenna and open wire. Thanks.

RIP sir. When I was in my undergrad we use his books as reference to our studies in electronics. Thanks for sharing your knowledge to us younger generations...

I'm reading his teach yourself electronics at least I am trying this guy had to be a genius

73 and so long Stan Gibilisco

Wow thx for the very detailed explanation
