The near-total reflection of such current results in the standing wave
RF just look at what you have written and I suppose shouted in
response to my post

I gave the reasons for my line of thinking having gone thru the
routine of reading and accepting
what the books say.
You spurned my statement giving no reason why it should not be
accepted
Not surprising really as that is the pattern of this group.
Before that I raised the question that if antenna programs all agreed
on the sloping radiator as being the best is that a reason on which I
can declare programs as proof as what I do.
Yup, no answers either because I was spurned or nobody is familiar
with the programs to supply an answer.
Now you throw at me the books together with some sort of abstract and
demand that I should fall in line with everybody else. Well once apon
a time I was a lemming and believed all that was in print.
Now I am examining everything, point by point for my own satisfaction
and coming up with different solutions. Yes I am well aware of the
books that are thrown at me and now I am thinking for myself
which if anybody is going to progress all must do. For that you object
because apparently your request comes first in your mind. Now look at
what you wrote again in a logical fashion and then retire to the
outhouse and think about the rationalisation of the modes of progress
that I supplied
and you state why some would be rejected and why together why
something totally trumps what I stated or answer the question on
antenna computer programs.
On the other hand if you have a question start a new thread !




current distributions carefully measured by Gihring and Brown over 70
years ago, and which you continue to spurn.
