the solution would have to be that each source is randomly polarized


Hi Jim,

I have worked further with the "random" applications. "Random" is no
simple thing as published data has already revealed and my additions,
editions, and refinements have not bought much more traction. Putting
enough decimal places into the "random" valuations would be
mind-numbingly brutal; and as interesting as it would be, it would be
a solution in search of a different problem.

If "random" put oil on troubled waters and reduced the 1.4dB
discrepancy to say 0.4dB, it says nothing of the original 1dB. And
all these machinations to fill the sky with sources so they can look
over the reflector of the yagi.... If you pour more water into the
bucket, you will eventually fill it, but it won't tell you why the
bucket leaks.

However, it is nice to see that the topic still has legs.
