Hmm. Please provide a reference where this was stated. I doubt that's
what was actually the verbiage used.

cognized that all is not understood about radiation and never has a
radiator been constructed that complies in its entirety with Maxwell.

According to only you.

I have untold books on antennas but none (not including ARRL stuff)
provide any sort of reason that this could be true.
Is anybody aware of a recognized author stating why this should be
considered true when current leaning is towards point radiation which
obviously seen as a break away statement..

Again, please provide a reference that "current leaning is towards point
radiation".

I sure I won't get a real answer here. As usual.

Just like his bailout on providing a description on his antenna earlier
this weekend.

fraud.
