Cecil, I'll believe you know something about loading coils when you

electromagnetic theory.


Been there - done that - even got the T-shirt with Maxwell's
equations on it. I suspect that your university never taught
the real thing.

As it stands, all you can do is make one
unsupported statement after another and hope someone is gullible
enough to believe you.


I supported my statements with examples. Strangely enough, you
haven't posted any technical disagreement with my examples. All
you do is take potshots based on nothing except your feelings.

It's impossible to argue with you on a technical basis because you
have not posted anything technical. Do you disagree that the Z0
of a single #16 wire located 24 ft. above ground is ~600 ohms? Do
you disagree that such a wire can support standing waves whether
used as a transmission line or as an antenna?

Please post what you find technically wrong with my examples (all
based on valid distributed network reflection models) which I
learned in the 50's from "Field and Waves in Modern Radio" by Ramo
and Whinnery and a later edition of the same book in graduate school.

I'm not going to waste my time arguing with you , Cecil; as you say,
been there, done that. I know there are people in the past who have
attempted to characterize antennas as transmission lines. It's an
old, hoary method. You have a copy of Balanis. He has references you
can look up to see how close your ideas are to the truth.
Nope, I don't need to argue. I have a wife who is always willing
and ready to provide arguing services whenever I need them. I don't
need you.
