There you go again wandering off and bull****ting about something that you
read some where and no body else knows it.
If you think as you say that all has been said that needs to be said about
antennas then open another thread where you can deposite your volumous
verbal diarrea. The subject was antennas and impedance but you seem to think
that every thing is known so you can turn to any book on any subject and
empty yourself on us as if you are on a bathroom stool which is your county
seat. Now if you want to attack me regarding my antenna then fine start a
thread and we will go at it but remember it is not in a book so you will
have to think for yourself or resort to reading any old book and
regurgitating. Now you could find something about say loop antennas that you
are sure nobody else knows about or are we not upto that part in Krause's
book that you are currently reading ?
And while we are at it, now you are getting absent minded please put a
marker in the book where you left off. And another thing I will echo what
Cecil says to the like of you....an antenna is an antenna and not to be
regarded as a system. My antenna does not cry out aloud that it has had its
amplifier stolen. Another point..you mention "we" since when do you think
you talk for everyone here, only a few days ago your excuse was that you was
not a professor,! Today you screwed up with dimension units that you copied
incorrectly from YOUR book and frankly you have to post more than others
because people do not agree with you most of the time as you seem unable to
stay on target and get confused
about what the subject is or how to interpret something that you read and
screw around trying to find a way to make it relavent.
If you remembered what ever you learned in school you would be able to talk
for yourself and then debate for yourself now that Terman is dead, really
dead . Now you also said something about what I said on this thread
regarding current or something ( I think I said 'I believe' which is a long
way from acting as a know all tho I must admit I haven't been up lots of
towers,put them up in lots of countries and all those other stories that you
tell ) to which you replied bull**** or balloney which from you should be
enough so that you can walk away like a messiah you doesn't have to explain
himself based on some fabulous light around his head that he thinks he has
earned thru his fabulous teachings.
Another thing are you the only one that was correct on Reggies
question.....no I didn't see a response in the early days that I read that
thread... probably you knew all along as you read something like it in a
book so dumped that on the thread anyway.
Now if you want to change the heading of this thread then be my guest since
you and you alone knows everything there is to know about antennas as you
read this book on a tower in Del Fuego or was it in the bathroom?
This is not a personal attack by the way
it is just a disagreement like saying baloney or bull****, justification is
not required. I am sure you can identify with that
with you not being a professor and thus allowed to spout off.
Art
Looking forward to hearing you hit my antenna and the mathematics that go
with it regarding the amplifier hidden in the elements. Last time you said '
it' breaks all the laws of physics, the laws that you read in a book
somewhere and that was sight unseen, the antenna that is, the laws were
chiselled in a rock , graphical form that you saw the last time you climbed
a mountain where a bush once burned and you became a prophet

"The half power thingy I presume is understood by all so IS something
very exciting to be revealed that shows that the dipole is really an
efficient radiator after all, but only if you put a class C amplifier on
it?"

Art was the introducer of efficiency into this impedance thread.
Something from Art about radiation per unit length of an antenna, if I
recall. We noted that the antenna itself is usually so efficient there`s
not much to talk about, but there are differences in the effectiveness
of getting a signal on and off the air via an antenna. There`s coupling
the antenna to the radio. This has been argued here since before the "47
KW CB" thread, and that was years ago.

If Art can get more signal out of an antenna which is as small or
smaller than ordinary without putting more current into that antenna,
assuming orientation, polarization, and the other usual conditions are
fair for the competition, I`m excited.
