transmission lines and SWR and fractional wave antennas

Hello, Roy, and while the above is certainly correct, you're probably wasting your time. Many folks like to fashion their own "reasonable" explanations even when they're completely off track (should I mention the CFA again?). Of course they're always right and it's the rest of the world who's wrong. Certain folks on this ng appear to be in constant need of validation. Persons without some knowledge of the underlying physics and applied math are destined to reach the wrong conclusions IMO. Of course that's not going to stop some from building a CFA because as we all know it's the standard comms antenna used at the Groom Lake facility to keep in touch with Klaatu. Sincerely, and 73s from N4GGO, John Wood (Code 5550) e-mail: Naval Research Laboratory 4555 Overlook Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20375-5337 If what you say is true, I am wasting my time. But I believe there's a more diverse group of readers: 1. The people who already already know and understand what I'm explaining; 2. The people who think they know and understand what I'm explaining, but don't, and won't change their minds no matter what I write; and 3. The people who are willing to read and understand what I write, and learn from it or at least think about it. Just like medical triage, only one of the three groups can be helped, in this case #3. It's for those folks that I take the time to post. I hear from them in various ways from time to time, so I know they're out there. And I'm glad to pass along to them what I've learned, when I can.
