I consider it a real shame that equilibrium is not a part of
examinations since equilibrium
is a basic in the electrical circuit of all antennas

A very simple observation:

Give us one question you would expect to see.

Give us the answer that would be marked as passing.

Without both, this sappy sentiment of yours is nothing more than a
late night exercise of crying bitter tears into the pillow - and
leaving the window open so the neighbors can hear the sobs of regret.

It appears that sentimentality rules the thread. Lacking any steps
taken by Art towards providing a question with its corresponding
answer must mean he couldn't pass the same test it might be placed in.

Barring Art's hesitancy to supply his own solution, I can only rummage
up a similar instance from him where we might make this a quality of
test a CBer might tackle that is drawn from patented (5,625,367)
technology:

Q. reflector element is usually tuned to a frequency slightly
higher than the driver resonant frequency - TRUE or FALSE?

Q. director elements are usually tuned to frequencies slightly
lower than the driver resonant frequency - TRUE or FALSE?

Thankfully, the PTO does not test nor issue licenses based upon this
technology source used as reference material.

I can well imagine how "equilibrium" would similarly pollute the
question pool and the lack of follow-up leaves us with the soap opera
it was always meant to be.

It is painfully obvious that Art will never offer the questions only
he can sign off on. The other Newtonian Philosopherz are equally
flummoxed.

As for others following this tempest in a teapot, Art has already
answered the two TRUE/FALSE questions above:

Q. reflector element is usually tuned to a frequency slightly
higher than the driver resonant frequency - TRUE!

Q. director elements are usually tuned to frequencies slightly
lower than the driver resonant frequency - TRUE!

and thus fulfills my observation he couldn't pass a test he Authured.

Gad, the irony is thick and gooey sweet.
