In refutation, the proof.


The info is in the archives many many times but to my knoweledge nobody
has tried it for themselves preferring to memorise what the books say.
Yes it does look like a tuned circuit on the end of a coax but what if
it is?

Actually, if that is what it is, then fine! antennas such as that are
perfectly legit. It will almost certainly use the feedline as a large
part of the radiator. This antenna bears some resemblance to the Isotron
line of antennas. Not for everyone, for sure, but I'm not going to get
into a definition war on what comprises a "good" antenna, at least in
this case..

But unless there is something new going on - and I don't buy claims of
newfangled physics without proofs - especially physics that need to
include apparent ability of comprehension on my part, it is another
radiating feed line antenna, and not much more.
