I understand your frustration Art. I have some of my own. I've asked
twice now for a test protocol, and gotten nothing.

I'm hoping that a test protocol is not asking too much...

I don't think we have the right to ask him anything.

Of course we have a "right". And I've gotten my answer. Asking for a
test protocol for your antenna tests is too much to ask. Okay. So I'll
sit back and patiently watch for any results proffered.

But you might want to think about it. What if some parameter in the test
process is such that will make the antenna test out as performing poorly
when in fact it does not.

He volunteered to do it and I accepted If he answered everything
on this net it would start a lot of insults
again.

With all due respect, what is this with the insults? I've worked with
engineers of all stripes, and the conversations can get pretty animated
at times. I've been told my ideas are stupid on occasion, and have told
others the same. Then we have a cup of coffee, and get back to work.
Engineering of any sort should not the province of people with easily
bruised egos.

He has offered to do it for me not the group.

Perhaps it would have been better to tell us about it after the tests
were finished, then no one would be insulting anyone. The you could
present the test results and the rest of us could eat crow.

I think you have now chosen the correct path because a lot of people
are going to have to eat crow.
I am not sure if you are computor savvy but it appears that those who
do
are holding back on sharing the tipped radiator thing.
Can you do it for those who are not computor savvy because at the
moment nobody has stepped forward
and helped them determine if it is correct or not. At the moment
Richard has stated it is a myth
but he is not computor savvy so his remark is off the cuff. So again
amateurs are being left in
the dark by the computor savvy people of this newsgroup who refuse to
help.
What gives?
