First of all Felix has placed his project into such a 'top secret'

I think it's very questionable whether any such "secret contract"
would be enforceable, at least here in the U.S.

One of the crucial elements in a contract is the "meeting of the
minds". That is, the parties who are taking part in the contract must
be in agreement as to what it is that is being agreed to.

Terms which are kept secret from one party to the contract until after
the contract was signed would almost certainly be held to be invalid
and unenforceable.

Felix *could* have a legal and binding contract with buyers of his
antenna which has strict terms that require nondisclosure, forbid
reverse engineering, or insist that buyers do The Dance in public on
alternate Thursdays. However, in order to be enforceable, all of the
terms have to be presented to the buyer *before* the contract is
agreed to.

I do _not_ wish to receive unsolicited commercial email, and I will

I totally agree.He really should supply a graph of frequency versus
SWR then buyers would know what they are getting.

the only time a graph of swr vs frequency is important is for a dummy load.
it is not a measure of antenna performance.
