I can see a struggle developing here between you and Art as to who has
the claim to wear the cap and bells.

I think Szczepan can take Art in best out of three falls. Neither seems to
have an interest in real world antennas. Perhaps there is a
rec.radio.magicalphysics group they could move to?

Heh I just want you all to keep posting regarding your knowledge of
antennas. The more you post the more you reveal yourselves. I was a
mechanical engineer not a antenna or electrical engineer so I am
struggling just to get on the ladder of knowledge. There are a few
here that feel they are best qualified to judge with respect to
antennas. I just can't make them out. Now we have Tom competing for
the top spot because he has made antennas to work and is anxious to
let everybody know about it Yup 98% efficient he states
That 98% of radiation that went to the wrong place.What has he
accomplished that nobody else has done Now where did that other 2% go
possibly hiding inside the radiator tube? Has he accounted for a
everything involved in the generation of radiation? Does he know what
radiation is and what creates it? Now will somebody explain to me why
the subject
of waves keep coming up when radiation is discussed and do the waves
tip over when they get to their destination and dump dots and dashes
all over the place? Every body is keeping mum as to what creates
radiation because none can answer the question They only can ask
questions to divert the spot light else where. Perhaps the "tide" has
turned with respect to Maxwell and it is time to surf the "waves"!
