Gentlemen.

It is now over two weeks since Art made his offer to Denny to supply a
model of his new antenna for testing, ( and should by now have been
delivered ), which gives all the naysayers a last chance to nail their
colours to the mast.
For my part it is my belief that Art's antenna will be a major
advance in the design of antenna's of the future, so, what say you
gentlemen, do you agree, or disagree?.

Sorry, I don't believe in the tooth fairy, free lunches, or dummy
loads on sticks. Or should I say dummy loads on towers...

Just to make things even, it is my belief that someone, who has the
respect of most ham's in this group,( including the indomitable
Richard) has a finger in this pie.

Well, Yoda is pretty good at what he does. But I doubt if
even the force® can save this project.
Like I have said, if I thought it was possible to achieve full
size performance from a shoe box sized jumble of several
hundred feet of thin 22 gauge wire, I would have already built one.
But unfortunately, I have no such delusions of RF grandeur.
BTW, if even both of the Richards, "I'm not sure which one
you consider indomitable", had a finger in the pie, but
the rest of the world refused to stick their finger in the pie,
how would that make things even?
Myself, I have trouble seeing either one of them falling for
this fairy tale of full size antenna performance from a
mini sized dummy load on a stick. Even if it is air cooled.
Does this help clarify my stance on this small sized subject?
I try to avoid any gray areas that might give the impression
that I think this device even has a remote chance of it's
claimed full sized success as a radiator of RF.
But in case some still get confused by what I say, let me
rephrase in a manner that most all will understand.
What a load of horse manure says I...
