Yes. As I recall, Art claimed to have discovered something like the
"gamma match" shown on page 26-9 of my 20th edition of the ARRL Antenna
Book. Of course it`s been around nearly forever.

Art claimed radiation from the small gamma-loop strongly reinforced the
dipole`s desired radiation. Art rejected the contention that radiation
from the small loop is only directed in the plane of the loop so
therefore only helps in the directions of the zenith and the earth and
gives no help in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the dipole.and
broadside to the small loop.

If Art patented the idea that the matching system radiated to
significantly enhance the dipole`s desired radiation, he should not
expect riches in royalties.

Yes I was granted a patent under " a constant impedance antenna
system"
and it is a matter of record despite what you have stated. And that is
all I wanted,.
a record of my work.- Hide quoted text -

Art you are *still under the delusion that if you get a patent it
means your idea is valid.
No, it just means it was your idea. At one time you had to give some
proof of the validity of the concept but this is no longer true. If
you want to get a patent on a Star Trek type "transporter" or "warp
drive" go ahead, you can probably get one. You can even patent
something that already has a patent. The patent office will not keep
you from screwing up.

No Jimmie
I had to go to Washington to provide the proof in the 90"s and it was
accepted
and that is all I cared about. I did not write articles for the radio
magazines or anything like that
I do it purely to provide a record of my work
I just moved on to other things but at least it is available to hams
to use or reject.
This is no different from what I am doing now with this new antenna, I
applied for
a patent and then shared it with the ham community, is that so bad?
You can put the constant impedance antenna on EZNEC for yourself or
ignore it
Many others on this group Richard included don't know how to operate
computors let alone
work on antenna programs themselves so they are not talking from
experience but from teachings reeived
over half a century ago after which they have stopped learning. If any
of these had any savvy they would have put some of the things I have
stated
and proved things one way or another but they don't want to as it
means change. Now if you are "wired" like Richard then you are happy
to join him
in the war of words as the othe Richard has and a few others. As for
me I have shared all and you can take it or leave it, your choice. At
the moment it is a queer road on this group where people want to
attack those who have new ideas or challenges the status quo but as
yet have only relied on insults
in the absence of individual thought or possibly suspend or get rid of
patents and the like as they only promote change.
The group can get angry with me if they wish because of my work but
there is no way they are going to stop me doing it for what ever
reason they have in mind. Sooner or later somebody with some smarts
and some get go will look at things for themselves and test thgem out
on a computor which now apears to be accepted by all and then decide
whether they want to build on them or not, they will not rely on the
opinions of this group as there is nothing provided to study just
venom. So Jimmie I congratulate you on all your patents obtained as it
shows you are capable of original thought where others are lacking
