Will you please describe the details of your experiment where you
claim 90% of the power is radiated from the feedline? How did you
make
this measurement?

==================================

Walt,

If you erect a 10 meter 1/2-wave dipole and center-feed it with a 50
feet length of coax, and then transmit on 1.9 MHz, 99.9 percent of
available power will be radiated from the feedline and only 0.1
percent from the antenna itself.

SWR on the line will be about 1400 and the amount of power available
will not be very great.
