Art,
'How' you think of, or envision a particular antenna is entirely
up to you. But, when you want to communicate your thoughts about that
antenna to people who do not 'envision' antennas in the same way that
you do, you have to use commonly acceted means/terms. If you don't,
there will always be misconceptions/errors in understanding what you
are trying to say (doesn't matter if the 'what' is correct or not).
I think the problem is in the 'translation'.
'Doc


It's still a nickname. I didn't 'pick' it, it was given to me.
It doesn't mean I'm a 'doctor' of anything (I'm not!). Sorry if
it still bothers you, get over it.
