Does NEC-2 model wires as solid or hollow?
Art wrote:
"So Cecil I presented the facts what two different antenna programs used
in the amateur antenna would and ask, why should I NOT trust programs
that utelize the laws of Maxwell and favor a program that use
orientations that present tutorial books supply? A simple question
inspired by theories of particles etc which seems to be a source of
annoyance."
Antenna programs are tools. Their product qualities depend on user
ability as much as upon the tool. Any program telling you to tilt the
tower is wrong for one reason or another. Were that so, after a century
of broadcasting there would be such transmitters and there aren`t.
Particles and EM waves are compatible. I recommend "Electromagnetism and
the Sacred" by Lawrence W. Fagg, ISBN 0-8264-1147-9, which reconciles
QED (Quantum Electromagnetism) and EMI (Electromagnetic Interaction).
Fagg also informs of the Four Forces of Nature. Art said we must account
for "The Weak Force" in our determination, but never said which weak
force he meant.
Fagg says on page 27:
"The strongest of the forces is the nuclear force, which, for example,
keeps the quarks (the most elementary particles that are subject to the
nuclear force) together in clumps of three to form protons and neutrons,
and, in turn, keeps protons and neutrons together in the neucleus of an
atom. Next in order of strength is the electromagnetic force, which is
the fundamental mechanism that makes possible the operation of all
living things including ourselves and most of the material world to
which we relate. The third is known as the weak force, which comes into
play in the radioactive decay of a nucleus and many other elementary
particle phenomena. By far the weakest of the four is gravity.
I won`t bore with more. Read the book.
