It's a sad comment on the state of this newsgroup that an objective
statement of what are believed to be facts is taken as "throwing [the
engineer] into the lions' den". It's not my intent at all to impugn the
engineer. Surely he's aware of the efficiency of the "antennas" he's
creating, so either my (and Frank's) calculations are grossly incorrect
or SPAWAR thinks there's a market for such inefficient antennas. It
would be educational to know which of these is the case. It was
interesting that there was no mention in the video of very low
efficiency, but I guess that's to be expected for a promotional piece
produced by a marketing department looking for investors.

Gesus! If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck,
smells like a duck, sounds like a duck ... well, you know that one.

Never thought I would hear you say that ... ya' never had a hard time
calling a duck a duck before.
