Hi Arthur,

We can all appreciate how you rejected all things British when you
emigrated. Consult history to observe that Hertz (not a British
subject) invented the loop antenna during Victoria's reign.

Others may be equally ignorant of early RF work, but it was a simple
google of "Hertz" and "Queen Victoria" to arrive at:
"Marconi was giving wireless reports to the mainland from the
Kingstown Regatta, from distances of 5 to 10 miles out to sea.
And sending Queen Victoria reports concerning the health of
her son, the Prince of Wales, who was recovering from a
knee injury as he watched the regatta from the royal yacht."

And, as we are all well aware, Hertz did not design, build, and
operate his antenna after the reign of Victoria.

This is all very elemental stuff.
