Well Walt, look at it this way. By claiming he puts the E and H fields in
phase, he forces the ExH power flow vector to be equal to zero. :-)

Yeah, Cecil, that's what I thought, too, but not according to Ted. He puts his
antenna up at 1/4 wl above ground and gets 2.25 dB gain over a standard 1/4 wl
vertical. What am I missing here? Perhaps we just haven't yet found Ted's secret
for squeezing the E and H fields to rest on top of each other instead of in
sequence.

The only possible conclusion is that he doesn't put the E and H
fields in phase. Could it be that there is another dimension, in
which the EH antenna operates, which allows ExH to be greater
than E*H[sin(90º)]? - that's 90 degrees for you incompatible nerds. :-)

Hi Walt,

What you are "missing" is that the EH antenna can be made from scraps of PVC
pipe and used aluminum foil. Don't need no stinkin' steel towers. (Except as
"support" of course.)

Don't worry about whether it works or not; it is a great recycling project.
