Actually John my beef is that the rule for the most efficient
radiation
is that "if a radiating element is resonant and in equilibrium it can
be of any shape, size or
elevation". Yet that is ignored by the so called experts of the

is no room for surprises over their own superior brain power.
How many would admit that :for a given polarization the best results
are NOT
at right angles or parallel to earth" ? And as somebody said "If it
was really

discoveries have
their own time scale for discovery and time has expired for antennas
