Art scoffs at Kraus and Art scoffs at experience with antenna
orientation for best reception. So that readers aren`t mislead, olease
refer to page one of Terman`s 1955 opus:

"---radio waves. travel with the velocity of light and consist of
magnetic and electric fields at right angles to each other and also at
right angles to the direction of travel." Then check page 923:

"--- E is the field strength of the wave in volts per meter, Psi is the
angle between the plane of polarization and the wire in which the
voltage is induced" ---It will be observed that the quantity E cos Psi
cos theta is the component of the field strength which has a wavefront
parallel to the antenna and is polarized in the same plane as the
antenna."

He who scoffs at Terman is at great peril.

But ham radio and the Navy have proved him wrong with the T2FD
testing !
Computor programs designed around Maxwell's laws also prove him wrong.
I suggest you study the under pinnings, if any, by Terman of that
particular point
and then share the "proof" with all of us. Again, you have two vectors
for the
electric and magnetic field at right angles to each other. Using your
own brain
please tell as where the curl vector MUST be to prove your case.
Ofcourse you can
read a lot of books and select a diagram of the vectors involved that
solidifies your position
but I don't think you will find one anywhere. Your HIT and MYTH
aproaches just doesn't work out.
