Scaling of antennas is clearly

fair, by applying them in a new way ).

But you don't know how, and have never seen one either.

That's true, I am not an expert in this field, I only try to stay up
to date with the technology, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but
I have seen many advancements in this direction lately.

Hi Robert,

It takes only one to convince us, not many. Choose your best example
and then we can correct your impression of it being representative of
a new advance in technology.

Or we can simply skip the example and say there have been no new
advances, only new designs (not the same thing). Those new designs do
not strain the limits of 100 year old theory. They are only new
because of scale. We are no longer confined to the 2000M band for
QSOs (and most of those new designs are set in the cM bands).
