Hi Richard

I put your suggestion back to you, give me a convincing argument as
to why Art's antenna would not be viable, apart from the knee jerk
reaction it was designed by Art therefore it cannot be viable.

It appears to be a counterwound coil on the end of a stick. It isn't all
that different than an Isotron antenna. Not quite the same mind you, but in
the ballpark.

I haven't built one, but it stands to reason that in the world of
electronics, that somoene would have discovered the presumed effect by now
via serendipity, if not calculation. Doesn't matter who designed it.

Anxiously awaiting that test report.....
