In answer to your condescending posts that I have ignored to this point
I reply "do something". This is not meant to be combative, but an
observation of fact. Some people lose sight of what a education is, a
tool. They simply marvel at the tool without putting it to good use.

If your ideas are superior to the current art, why not put them to good
use to the betterment of mankind? This will make you much more sought
after than a bitter old man taking jabs at passers by.

I look forward to a useful application of your ideas.

I had no idea that standing and travelling waves was reserved for post
doctorial studies in America, where offshore it is considered as an
early part of the education curriculum. There are also physicists,
consultants, sailors,naval instructors, NASA Reps cb ers and lecturers
on this group argueing vehemently over the subject as if it is the
cusp of modern day research. Each discipline having the benefit of
being educated in such in a manner suitable for the class content.
Considering the heated debate on mathematics on its misuse by a doctor
working on space research at MIT I really should not be that
surprised. It would appear that there is not a true foreign professor
around to consult or to request some teachings from so this debate of
several years could have closure. Reminds me of the 'O' ring debate in
America where it was discovered for the first time in the western
hemisphere that butile O rings had a low tensile strength, this found
over some one's dead body. We desperately need more Indian techs to
settle over here to help us out, and possibly one to join the group,
instead of marvelling on the side lines at the goings on regarding the
pursuit of knoweledge about radiation.
We have more than 500 permanent Indian and Asian technicians in my
town hired by State Farm in a desperate effort to upgrade their
computor comprehension and Bill Gates is also crying desperately for
employees from offshore venues. Our hospitals would just rot if were
were not aided by the educated from the emerging countries who are
leap frogging us in many ways. Caterpillar went to Northern England to
staff their metal pattern shops. As for the rest they generated the
'Rust Belt' regions by sticking with what they had. Surely we can find
just one that can inform the group about standing and travelling
waves! Gentlemen and radio hams, you can join the group without
leaving your countries to show of your education on this newsgroup.
They need help over here.....desperately.

I think what goes on in a resonant cavity is far from boring, or, even
absolutely known ...

However, such be as it may. Damn brits are probably psychic!

No John you are not a typical sample of this group. I have been on it
for over a decade
as have the two Richards and Roy. During that time we had a lot of
experts on hand that supplied info to the rest of us. But one by one
they all left because of personal attacks as the latest newcomers will
find to their cost. But I and Cecil and a couple of others are
standing our ground despite the reputation of this group. We are
interested in ham radio and ideas and do not subscribe to the idea
that all is known and if disputed must be crushed.
I have a small 160 metre antenna on top of my tower that is in
equilibrium,resonant and without the need for a ground. It is viewable
by anybody especially those with small gardens that are excluded from
that band. Why on earth would three guys try to suppress that fact?
What is it in there that they have a desire to supress? Would a full
size antenna small enough for a mobile without external loads or
ground requirements to get on 160 metres a real threat to ham radio?
John, you made Vincents antenna for yourself to obtain the facts. It
is not perfect but it is something new.You know Vincent was and is
under attack. The antenna
may not be perfect but some thing is new so hams ditch the baby with
the purifying water.

It isn`t. Just as elsewhere, electromagnetism and wave motion are
covered in freshman physics. Anything needed beyond simple algebra is
covered in the physics course itself. It includes the relationship of
classical physics to modern physics, emphasizing conservation laws,
concepts of waves, fields, and particles.
