Hmmm, take the cover off any HF tube transmitter. It has an element
that is resonant - called the Plate Load. It is of any shape. It
must be quiting Librium. It is of any size. It is at some elevation
(you may raise the transmitter if you wish).

Yet and all, it makes one of the worst HF antennas ever to come down
the pike in the past three centuries or two millenniums.

We can all agree that if Arthur had any pride in his theory, he
wouldn't be building antennas having already satisfied EVERY proviso
with a Plate Load.

Yet that is ignored by the so called experts of the
amateur ranks.

EVERY amateur can test this one idea. Most who did, abandoned this
theory immediately as obviously deeply inferior.

No experts were called, implicated, consulted, used or maimed in the
making of this announcement - except, possibly, the previous two
correspondents. Torts limitations have capped their flamboyant claims
to the value of their posts: 2¢ (adjusted for inflation equal only to
the Weimar Republic Mark).
