W8JI is a competant engineer and well versed in "traditional"
antenna design but he is not without fault or error since
he is a human being. It is very worthwhile to read what
he has to say but if it doesn't agree on your thoughts
developed from first principles then you can't use the
info until the error is resolved. That is just like
reading a book without exercising discretion with
respect to the source.

art,

As presumably you, also, are a human being, then shouldn't we all consider
the peculiar, unproven, and unique beliefs you post here with the same
discretion applying to you as you suggest for the statements of W8JI (and
others)?

And that is being rather charitable, as W8JI is basing his analyses on
proven and repeatable physics, not on the speculations you continue to post,
and which no one else has offered the least bit of provable corroboration.
