So far neither the performance of Art's 160-m antenna, nor the claims he
makes for its underlying physics have been publicly proven by scientific
method.

Derek.
I thought you would like to know that I made another 160M antenna
today which isvery much smaller than the one I have on my tower. If
somebody takes you up on your bet you will be able to afford a trip to
Central Illinois and I will give it to you to take home to Sydney or
what ever.
It is compact enough for carry on luggage so it will not be a
problem.It is below zero temps
here at the moment but it has resonant points either side of 160M on
the ground one of which is 200 ohms the other is outside the scope of
my MFJ 259 . I could measure it on a SA if I have to but it is best
now to wait until spring unless a bet is made. When it goes up one of
the resonant points will move to 160M.
My next antenna to make will be small enough to put on a dinner plate
for the broadcast band but I really do need to fix the plasma tv as
the wife likes watching the tennis from down under on the big TV. I
believe it got a lightning pulse from the cable line so I need to
change out a relay or a transistor amplifier /switch to get it going
again. Small relays are known to weld anf the front end transisters
are not made to handle a high current, hopefully it is one of the two.
My Best Regards and many thanks for your confidence in my honesty.
