Congratulations. *Universal scientific accolades, a place in history with
the Great Masters whose names you often quote, and huge financial rewards
may be in order for you and/or the nominated beneficiaries of your estate,
"art."

But first, what are the proven/provable radiation characteristics of your
new 160-m antenna design as you believe them to be, in comparison to those
of a conventional, proven 1/4-wave vertical monopole with a broadcast-type,
radial ground system?

Please show your work.

Otherwise...

Get lost. You are not in the circle of a need to know,only the heckler
list.
You just can't handle the truth as I told you a ground plane is not
necessary.
They just supply unwanted noise anyway compared to a antenna away from
the ground surface.
If you want to be part of a bet then call Australia as I will not be
getting your posts anymore
because they are unproductive. But don't let that stop you in
arranging the bet to prove your points as I will still cooperate in
the adjudication.
