"Come on" my ass. I answer these questions on a daily basis and you have
absolutely no idea what sorts of permutations and combinations can arise ...
and what people mean by "regular" and "normal" and what it means to give
wrong advice. I like to think that when I answer a question it is because
I have got a pretty good handle on the situation and can give something that
is technically and structurally defensible. If you want to hipshoot
answers, then hipshoot the results. So far I have not given any bad advice
when I have been given the whole scenario. That's 35 years of antenna advice.
For free, you will note, and I will be damned if I'll give advice without
knowing for sure the parameters.

First of all, that is "colloquia" (sp), which isn't a word but a
bastardization (not an "addapted" misspelling either) of "colloquial" which
IS a word. America isn't a continent, not even "conventionaly" which is
also spelled wrong. North America is a continent. South America is a
continent. Evidently you've never had to teach or make up exams where
people have to be correct to get the right answer.
