How many systems have you looked at Cecil where you were right next to
the antenna while this was going on?

I don't know exactly how many. All it takes to prove
you wrong is a single one. If you simply admit that
at one time in the history of man, a charge accumulated
on an antenna without the presence of corona, I will
be satisfied. When you assert that 100% of all charged
up antennas is caused by corona, it doesn't matter
if you are right 99.99% of the time. Logically, you
are 100% wrong if 0.01% of charged up antennas do not
involve corona.

When there is not a cloud over the entire state of
Arizona, charged up antennas in the dry, dusty,
windy Arizona desert are not caused by corona.

More than I have or many times less?

I multiply 6 times 7 once and get 42.
You multiply 6 times 7 ten times and get 56. Do
you really think you are right? The laws of physics
are not supposed to be the results of how many
flawed experiments are run.

Charged particles can exist in the absence of corona.
Like the cave men did, rub some amber against some
wool and then touch it to your dipole. That pop
you hear is NOT corona.

When a charged particle touches a reference bare
antenna wire, it transfers part of its charge to
the antenna. You have already agreed with that.
The rest is simple physics.

Exactly how do you prove that all charged up antennas
are causing ionization? What instrument did you use
to measure all that ionization?
