Default Antenna Theory

Felix, dude, repeat after me:

"We believe in the one way, the addition of fields, radiated from
wires, combined spatially in phase to give gain, or loss, or fire in
the case of too much loss. We believe in the fundemental difficulty of
delivering power efficiently to physically small radiating structures,
and we understand the limitations it places on such structures as
compared to their full-size counterparts. We believe in the QSO, and
that any antenna can provide many enjoyable ones. We believe in your
puny 160m signal, that we dug from the noise with our phased Beverages,
and replied in kind with our legal limit and transmitting four-square,
and you received us well, yea and verily, despite your use of a
dummy-load. We believe in the gain, 20dB or more, that an antenna may
exhibit when it or its plans are meant to be sold. We believe in the
measurement, scientific and clear, showing clear quantitative
comparisons to a suitable reference aerial; let it now be done, or may
you fall silent."
