I just am going on others work? beliefs? fantasies? as to the impedance of
space being 377 ohms, a google search will provide you with examples of the
material I viewed...
use the search terms:
[ "377 ohms" either site:edu ] == DO NOT include the square bracktes--it
will only return papers, docs, etc. from universities (site:edu does the
limiting, being interpreted by google as a command of, "Show me ONLY papers
from universities/"educational institutions"--and, NOTE the colon between
"site" and "edu".)

Yes, I am so bold and ignorant as that!!!

I am beginng to view "space" not as "nothing" but as real a conductor as
the feedline to my antenna--it being (space) a feedline completly
surrounding and physically connected to my antenna
(omnidirectional--balun/UnUn), and therefore conducting my rf away in an
omnidirectional pattern, unless I substitute a beam (or other "directional
antenna") which "blocks" or "impedes" this "contact" to the either in one or
more directions...

Why, do you think it is time (well, "time" is NOT real--so a silly question)
I should check in for a three-day mental observation?
grinning-like-a-damn-fool

Warmest regards,
John

| That is why "UnUn" is in the subject, "Unbalanced-to-Unbalanced."

| So are you saying that - in theory - that a balun (or un-un) (or lets
just
| say "An impedence matching device") can serve to propogate RF into the
| 'ether' (free space) ?
| Did you try it out in practice - to see if it works ?
| What's the impedence of 'ether' ? didn't you mention something around
| 300-400 ohms ? If so was that at all freqs?
