1) Did God build an ether to be exploited? (and it sure does look like it!)

If the radio gods had meant for man to understand how such things
work, he wouldn't have made it so damn complicated.

Isotropic antenna. Works equally lousy in all directions for hearing
the big bang background hiss (the voice of creation). It's also
non-denominational, non-polarized, and non-existent. It can't be
seen, found, built, or purchased. Think of it as a miraculous antenna
that only the gods can appreciate and use.

As usual, man has attempted to mimic the gods by attempting to build
an isotropic radiator. It's close, but no miracle antenna.

Argh. The .NEC files have disappeared again. I'll fix (after I'm
done rebuilding an air compressor).
