Jim,

I don't have the measurement capabilities that some of you folk have,
so I'm just using EZNEC as my "experimental equipment". I'm being
assured that it's representative of what I would see "for real", and
it's easier pressing keys than building new test equipment Are you
suggesting that "real world" current measurements would be
significantly different than the EZNEC predictions?

Steve,

Try not to read too much into what I say. It'll save us both some
aggravation. What I have said is that in order to validate any
particular model, one should make measurements. I don't think there's
anything particularly inflammatory or hostile in that view. I respect
both Roy and Cecil for their work, though Roy is considerably more
careful is his use of mathematics, and I feel has considerably more
expertise in RF engineering and physics. I have no particular knowledge
or opinion on Cecil's EZNEC files, other than his rather odd take
standing wave current phase shift - whatever that is.

So why don't you tell us what you think.
