Build a small scale model that can be tested indoors and report its
characteristics. Antennas are scaleable.

Hi Richard,

A scaled model of an antenna the size of two shoe boxes? Gives new
meaning to the toys kids used to collect called "matchboxes."

If going from 160M to half a meter was achievable, then going to a
couple of centimeters should be a walk in the park. If scaling down
300 times was achievable and saw great boon, then scaling down another
tenth must bring even more efficiency gains.

Why was this option left on the table when it results in a vastly
simpler construction and a superior product?

Something tells me NO ONE knows why.
