This might even include you if you were to actually try using one.
But, then the parade would come to an end, as you would see
that there is no free lunch.

Or as another person stated we don't need a different
*type of beam radiation as we already have one!!!!
So by all means crush any and all ideas of change


I know you hate yagi antennas, but did it ever occur to you
that the nulls are an advantage to many operators when
receiving. Heck, I bet just as many people use directional
antennas for the receive qualities as they do for any
directional gain. Whacking about 20 db off a west
coast kilowatt can come in mighty handy when you
are trying to hear weak DX in Africa.
Of course, with an equal opportunity dummy load, the
null will be in all directions.
So not only are you screwed as far as directional gain
vs an efficient antenna, you also lack the directional qualities
which many have great use for when receiving.
I suspect your invention using this "new science" will be a
flop at the box office.
Reboot and try again.
