Although there appears to be a good attempt to polish this particular
one. ;^)

If I had some new whiz bang antenna cooked up, I would build
and test one first, and then talk about it later if it actually was
proven to work.

Absolutely. Build and test. Get on the air and work. Put one up on a
range and produce some numbers. Publish the numbers. Silence the
skeptics. Convert them.

I always kind of wondered about the accusations thrown about here. If
they are true, there there appears to be a sizable group of Hams (and
apparently EE's and physicists too) who want to be using antennas that
don't work very well. They want to use inferior antennas so badly that
they squash any attempts at advancing the technology by others.

Yeah, right!

If I could put out a better signal by sticking a wire in a bagel , I'd
be doing it in a minute. 8^)
