Hi Arthur,

Let's see if you can follow the inference of what you claimed to have
sought in a reference for the signal strength of an antenna correlated
to radiator length. It is a very, very simple example, two wires, no
loads, very small:

It takes Laport only 3 pages to name three references for the math
(Stratton, Skilling, and Kraus); provide the equation; and directly
state at the bottom of page 3:
"directly proportional to the current and to the
continuing on top of page 4:
"length of the doublet..."

No requirement for resonance, no mention of Q, the only resistance is
that of free space, nothing about equilibrium, just a straight answer.
The math has been confirmed by experiment, and it is duplicated in
models that are fully consistent with all scientific enquiry for the
past three centuries which exhibit every quality of the math and the
quotation above. The text has been made FREELY available here. No
need to purchase.

There are no pages with pictures to color, so reading that far can be
tough to master for one finding it difficult to search this out:
I have searched quite a bit for evidence that states that performance
of antennas can be rated by it's size.
"Quite a bit" sets the standard for the whimpering of whipped dog
denial. If just a teensy-weensy bit more effort were made, it is
obvious the complete investment in antennas the size of a
cracker-jacks box would collapse like the home-loan industry.

The question carried with this is:
if an amateur were given the choice between your design, and this
simple two wires. then how much would he radiate or perceive any
greater signal with your design?

No doubt a very difficult question that will fail to obtain any
metrics, and probably not even the grace of a direct answer. It is
suitable for troll bait however, and the volume of response will weigh
that accordingly. If providing the grist of measurement is so
difficult to respond to, why are you here?

Those who belittle do others a service by showing what they are.
which may already answer my question with your burning bridges at
every post.
