Since you claimed it worked on VHF I actually attemted to make a
contact using it. I live less than 5 miles from a repeater and can
usually get into it with milli watts on a hand held. I couldnt get
into it with your antenna with 10 watts. I was afraid to use more
power as i may put my radio at risk.

This confirms at best -40dB of gain attributable to the authur's
design in comparison to a conventional design.

If Jimmie failed at anything approaching the perfection of the
authur's design, is that it does not exhibit an even greater figure of
-60dB - however, it is implied in Jimmie's hesitation to raise power
lest the authur's design burst into flames due to the Weak Forces
dominating the lack of conventional radiation.

Seeing that the authur has admittedly and expressly designed this
antenna to optimize the Weak Force, it would be surprising that any
other outcome would be expected. For these past few months he has
offered no other results of measurement, again admitting that he has
no "laboratory" (equal even to Jimmie's resources). Hence it follows,
that only speculation is available in the authur's defense.
