    The poor fellow appeared on the UltraLightDX list for a short while to promote his FSL antenna.  It was quickly revealed that he had actually copied many instances of prior art, including the detail of spacing the wire from the ferrite, and even when this was pointed out he continued to insist that his was original, and at one point stated more or less that he was entitled to make that claim because Polydoroff himself had not presented it to the list.

    Perhaps we can nominate him to the next "Spot the Looney" contest.
