Richard:

That is the worst statement I have EVER heard you make.

Time is a MAJOR factor in antenna calculations.

If you wish to decide what is on topic and NOT on topic, how about
corrosion limiters? Nylon rope? (yes, used by some as guys!) Ground
conduction enhancers? (salts) Trees? (yes, used by some as masts) The
antenna as art? (yes, some have to please their neighbors) Trenching
equipment? (yes, some go overboard on the ground establishing wires)
Bumper jacks? (yes, some use these to hoist up their collapsible masts)
Etc., etc.

Your interests about antennas like in a purely physical realm using
established methods, both practical and computational--some of ours
don't. Why your interests should over-ride others is a bit perplexing
to me ...
