No he isn't a buffoon, he had a Doctorate! Yes this group did go after
him with insults e.t.c. until he finally left and went into business
leaving the group devoid of experts again. He has several law suits
filed against the biggest phone makers in the world where they were
using his ideas with out his knowlege and not *paying for them.If it
is found that he is correct that other phone makers felt they had to
use his ideas to stay in business then it would appear the ideas had
merit.
He wasn't the last antenna expert to leave the insults from this
group,
Tom W8ti was one , Litchfield is another who left, Llewellen rarely
appears now and there were a lot more that left. The pseudo experts
are still here and easily recognisable and there are many a day that
the newbies will not come near this newsgroup to ask a question. No,
Chip was not a buffoon and is laughing all the way to the bank despite
criticism from those from those who decided there was no need to go
to *college or even high school because they could holler louder than
anybody else and win.

Apparently it is" Fractus" that is the company sueing several
companies and not "Fractal"antennas. I thought they were one and the
same companies,So I am in error. Thus I apologize for this error. So
let it be clear, that it is not Chip and his company that is pursuing
the other phone manufactures but another company of like
name

With respect to Chip's designs. What I consider important is that his
radiators do NOT contain, or produce, any lumped loads in their
manufacture that are not canceled leaving just distributed loads. Thus
for the given actual length of the radiator ( the equivalent stretched
radiator length) the impedance is strictly resistive, neglecting
proximetry effects. This meets the intent of Maxwells equations where
lumped loads DO NOT EXIST when accounting for all forces involved in
radiation. The only deviation from Maxwell that I can see is that it
does introduce sharp bends which also introduces phenomina with
respect to current lamina flow, where excess eddy current flow is
introduced, which is additive and not subject to cancellation.

Art, how does a current through a lumped inductance behave contrary to
Maxells equations?

You must admit that there was a certain amount of entertainment in Chip's
postings. If someone asked him a simple question, such as "how long was the
longest element on the antenna you built"....he could have just said "x
feet". Instead, he would post a 6 paragraph rant and direct the person
asking the question to some obscure publication.

He was great entertainment as a Buffoon! He just never caught on to
the fact he was the featured headliner. If threats to sue people were
money, many here would be much wealthier than they are now!
Many people use the phrase,"They laughed all the way to the bank".
Which may be true, but does not lessen the fact that some are just
destined to be Buffoons. It is their "lot in life", "their fate". No
matter how much money he makes or fame he acquires, be will always be
a Buffoon.

IIRC, he had the design posted on his webpage and perhaps in QEX. I don't
remember him ever giving details to QST or to this group, but he did
eventually provide construction details on a "fractal vertical". Brings
back memories of spirited discussions.

What those patents cost to get would make a handsome annual salary.
Especially if any were initially rejected.

I remember seeing a construction article, but not sure where.
I looked through my Communications Quarterlys and found summer 1995
has an article "Fractal Antennas Part 1, Introduction and the Fractal Quad"
You might be able to build an antenna from the article, I couldn't.
They sell the article here.
http://www.fractenna.com/nca_reprint.html
I don't know if part two was ever printed.
Chip took a lot of heat about this idea, probably would have
saved himself a lot of grief if he would have skipped the whole ham thing
and just started marketing them as shrunken antennas.
