The figures are also in empiric equations. Engineers use only such.

you have obviously never been an engineer... except maybe the type that
drives a train.

In this book:
http://books.google.pl/books?id=f3as...age&q=&f=false

no equations, no terms like transversal and so on. Sometimes the Authors
include a math theory. Each math theory has some simplifications. In
nature not separate transverse and longitudinal waves. The math is
separate. Maxwell was the genius. He made the ether model as a solid
body. For Him it was very easy. He also wrote 60 pages of equations for
the Saturn rings. He was also able to write a math for liquid or gas
ether. But he lived too short.

obviously that isn't an engineering text, that is a handbook similar to
the arrl antenna book, it looks like it presents very basic theory and
practical design equations. go read kraus or jackson for real engineering
education texts on electromagnetic stuff.

Maxwell PROPOSED the EM model of aether. All teachers use it to teach the
math.
The "very basic theory and practical design equations" are based on the
electron behaviour.
In EM no electrons which are compressible and have the inertia.
Do you belive that the "displacement current" exist?.
It is the result of ASSUMPTION that electricity is a incompressible massless
fluid.

I wanted to know if radio people observe the frequency doubling when
receiving signals from a dipole. It should be easy to check it.
For me is enough to know (from this Group) that such was observed and is
known as the Luxembourg effect.

no we don't.

We now. But in 1930 they did.
