What I find hard to understand is that the University has placed its name
behind it.!
The professors at the university had years to review the design and I
presume stood behing it.
I also understand that actual measurements were taken albiet possibly with
misuse of equipment..
I also find it odd that the ARRL did not get a jump on it before today as
the inventor has connections with them.
and wide spread notice that he also was a ham. FCC is probably snickering
now about ham operator statments
including those of the ARRL comments regarding use of power lines
Its a shame that the ARRL will take a laid back aproach on this antenna
until they have had a chance
to review comments from elswhere. There must be something that was missed
at the show possibly because of
a prior belief that it was a fake regardless of what he said. In the mean
time I accept your analysis sinc eyou were there as was Chip.
Hopefully Tom W8TI was there and jotted down drawings from the' how to make'
session so that he can point
out errors and falacies in the analysis from the first session where many
graphs were presented of the findings
and possibly the technology behind it

Did they mention where an actual drawing can be found
or if an indepth descriptive article can be found?
Thanks

What I described, says it all. The variation from the helically wound coil
at
the bottom half of the radiator is the trombone like "coil" or loading
stubs.
Looks like one or two turn trombone loading stubs along the radiator. This
should model in EZnec and show how the current decreases. Not much
different
from the loading coil at the base, which any mobile aficionado knows is
the
worst place to put the loading coil at.
Again. It is vertical, working against radials, or screen, loaded at the
base
with helical coil or trombone, then piece of tubing, then loading coil,
than
piece of tubing (stinger) or top hat. You can play with any sizes you
like, it
will not beat "classic" whip with loading coil about 2/3 up the radiator.

When the patent is issued and published, you will be able to see where the
"secret" is. He promised to have something on the web site, but I did not
bother to take a note of it.
