That has been shown several times - unless your skin crawls with
differences of 0.5dB

This was the main gist of the argument by Yuri. It was the bottom
line. He claimed we were modeling in fairly gross error due to this new
found revelation of coil current taper.

And that pilot's error was addressed before the soap opera began.

He promised a new revelation in
coil positioning that would turn the mobile antenna world on it's head.

Umm yes. The excuse is snow, but given the tapering heat wave
reports, the coils should clear that away in half an hour. Patents
pending!!! - any further discussion constitutes a violation of
