INTRODUCTION TO THE vk2iau allcoax multiband antenna
The vk2iau coax multiband antenna is an RG58U coax cable multi strand core antenna configuration of 4 interchangeable
components , as follows:
A: antenna A = INVERTED V DPLE = 2.15m long EITHER SIDE OF THE INV V DPLE APEX . coax cable outer
braid radiating elements in parallel , plus feedline coax to radio
B: antenna B = SINGLE 2.15m long coax cable outer braid radiating elements in series,
plus feedline coax to radio
C: 3.5 metre long shorted coax , AS A COIL , counterwound on a small plastic cable drum and held in place by cable ties , the drum is then
covered in aluminium foil which is independantly earthed , all of this is then covered in a nylon stocking to protect the aluminium foil.
D: 4 metre long shorted coax , AS A COIL , as above
Note: ALL EXPOSED PARTS ARE COVERED IN ‘ ROOF & GUTTER SILICON “ , which , when cured is wrapped in electrical
tape note: impedance at the radio is achieved fully or in part by COMBINATIONS OF THE 4 interchangeable components
( as described above ) , to utilise inductance / capacitance to extend the the " frequency time " longer than the " frequency
physical length time of the radiating elements " thus preventing the signal from hitting a brick walland bouncing back as unwanted SWR .
NOTE 1: I have found the antenna system COMPACT and excellent for TX and RX from my 6m boat
NOTE 2: The coax cable is laid on the roof tiles of my house , very inconspicuos , almost " secret " . COULD BE USED DIGUISED

A Bronx | Tale
The Duality of Influence: Mentorship and Morality in A Bronx Tale Directed by Robert De Niro in his directorial debut, the 1993 film A Bronx Tale serves as a poignant coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of racial tension and organized crime in 1960s New York. At its core, the film explores the internal conflict of Calogero "C" Anello as he navigates the influence of two starkly different father figures: his honest, hardworking father, Lorenzo, and the charismatic local Mafia boss, Sonny. Through this struggle, the film argues that a person’s destiny is shaped not by their circumstances, but by the choices they make and the "talent" they refuse to waste. The Clash of Value Systems The central tension of the narrative lies in the competing philosophies offered to Calogero. Lorenzo, a bus driver, represents the "legitimate" path, instilling the value of hard work and the belief that the working man is the "tough guy" for providing for his family. Conversely, Sonny offers an "illegitimate" path defined by power, fear, and easy money. While Lorenzo warns that "nothing in the world is worse than wasted talent," Sonny provides Calogero with practical, albeit cynical, life lessons—such as the "Door Test" for romantic partners or the idea that it is better to be feared than loved. Racial Tensions and Personal Growth The film further complicates Calogero’s journey by introducing themes of racial prejudice. His pursuit of an interracial romance with Jane, a Black girl from a neighboring district, serves as a litmus test for the moral foundations laid by his mentors. Surprisingly, it is Sonny—the mobster—who encourages Calogero to pursue his feelings despite societal pressures, highlighting the "complexity between good and evil" that permeates the film. This subplot emphasizes that individual growth requires looking past the entrenched biases of one’s community. 10 sites A Bronx Tale - Wikipedia It tells the coming-of-age story of an Italian-American boy, Calogero, who, after encountering a local Mafia boss, is torn between...

His father, Lorenzo, is a bus driver who believes in the dignity of a hard day's work. He tells C that "the working man is the tough guy".
