Bottom line is.
If you can't develop a theme from first principles you are
just a follower and not a true Engineer.

I submit that industry-recognized, expert sources on the subject of
antennas such as Kraus, Balanis, Johnson/Jasik, George Brown etc were
and are much more likely to understand and respect those first
principles.
Yes that is normally true but how many people at the table has asked
for the salt
when it was right in frony of them?




Anyone can develop and publicize a theme about the operation of
antennas.

I consider that a difficult task without running into trouble with
existing laws.



Scientifically PROVING that such a theme is correct takes a true
"Engineer."

When you deliver a theme or paper in front of college graduates,
professionals and
above, one assumes that they are fully aware of the basic laws
involved. Since your only connection to antenna engineering is the
repetitive pushing the "on" and "off" button at a local radio station
as its resident engineer it is more than possible that you have not
had a academic training. Your past posts gives some truth to that
statement, tho it is possible that I will have to stand corrected if,
as with many, age has taken its toll.
As you have stated in the past
.. "your move"!
Point to a law that I have violated of which you learned about in
academia. Alternatively
ask the question from your local academic centre where interllectuals
reside who have more knowledge of such things than either of us will
ever attain.
As for me I am at peace with my offering and thus can move on until a
violation of law is
presented.
