No. As I remember it he stated this to somebody on the Double Helix
question
on QRZ antenna design forum some time back. Last time I looked at that
there was several thousand viewers but nobody challenged him! I
believe it is some three pages back in the archives. I am sure he has
stated same in other places. If you ask him I am sure he will point
out the instances to you.
