Ah, yes, the website that promoted the CFA while simultaneously warping
electromagnetic theory. But then I guess I just "don't understand".
Thanks, but I'll stick with ARRL pubs and ref books by Kraus, Jasik,
Terman, King& Harrison, et al for trusted, practical info on antennas.
73s,

Well, I was there for most of the CFA "saga," and saw no such "promotion."
Instead, I watched the constant stream of challenges by both Jack Stone --
the publisher, and a host of others (including yours truly) that examined
the CFA from all angles and came to the same conclusion: The CFA is/was a
hoax based on the inventors's lack of understanding of EM theory.

All the best,

Bill Miller


Hello, and yes, IIRC to his credit Mr. Stone did publish (later on) Dr.
John Belrose's "mythbusting" of the CFA. Who at antennex was demanding
performance measurements to substantiate the CFA's proponents' claims?
Did the quantity and duration of those CFA articles on the website
confer legitimacy and promotion? Did Mr. Stone transform from believer
to skeptic? I wonder if antennex is at least in part more about
entertainment and tantalizing pseudo-science rather than reality. Like
a certain TV show starring two Roto-Rooter plumbers "ghost hunting" in
their spare(?) time. Hey, if you can't get valid measurements on your
test equipment just substitute melodramatics. 73s,
