So you are back David ! have you built that four poster antenna yet,
of steel I presume,
for the top band? Hopefully the system of yours is in a state of
equilibrium so you can tell us good things about it. Did you have to
make a ground plane system? They are not needed for a system in
equilibrium


Wow! *No ground system needed for top band. *The AM broadcasters are
going to be all over this. *Art, you are about to become very very rich..
* This overturns every measurement ever made on AM broadcast antenna
arrays. *You should be very proud that hundreds of engineers and their
measurements were wrong.

Again, congratulations.

No congratulations necessary. The methods will be available to all
amateurs when the PTO print out comes about. All of this represents a
different aproach than that taken before me. If it is 90 % in error
where only 10% is useful that's fine by me as it represents an advance
supplied by an amateur who wasn't detered from experimenting by
others.
If I feel that something that is taken for granted is in error just
because an author had it printed in a book I will always step forward
if I feel the emperer does not wear any clothes.
Which of you have the courage to stand along side me knowing full well
your character will be dismantled before the true facts become known?
