Just pointing out your way of thinking "out of the box" on practical example
that anyone can relate to. Like we are so stooopid to pay bucks for antenna
when we can slap it from aluminum foil, like we are so stooopid for 100
years of antenna development that you have to enlighten us with your what?
Like your patent, awgh, never mind....

Describing his "cheap" version of StepIR antenna is like comparing
wheelbarrow to Mack truck.
Sure is cheaper and "simpler" and you can transport one brick with both,
but
when it comes to loading serious load, the difference is obvious even to
bl?*&% idiot. :-)
Can you get that or is too complicated that it would need explanation
with
polarized bubbles?

Don't really need a control box, apply the frequency as you turn the

By the time you worked up your own SteppIR-like control system and
actually got the sliding contacts to work in a low loss, reliable
fashion, you'd easily be up to the price of those antennas.

Be careful Yuri or you will start to blither too.|
