"When modelling antennas and also building them it is obvious that
maximum gain comes about when resistance approaches zero."

Terman says that is true of so called super-gain antenns and results in
losses in trying to feed them.

On page 907 of his 1955 opus, "Electronic and Radio Engineering" Terman
wrote:
"The Yagi antenna of Fig.23-39, and the corner reflector, represent
about the best that can be achieved in a practical way with respect to
directive gain in a compact antenna array."

When Art proves with numbers that he has bested Terman`s statement I
sure want to hear about it.

Read the statement carefully. It is his opinion not a given fact and
he was very clear about that
and now he is dead! He cannot keep up with the advances of science
such that he can refine his past thinking
