And a disingenuous one at that. You are an antenna vendor who has made unsubstantiated claims about your product. Wes, Apparently, when you don't like a message you attempt to malign the messenger... where is the intellectual honesty in that? In any case, I am not in business as of late, as my wife is dying of cancer and needs all my attention. And since I am not in business, I can now express my views here without being accused of commercialism. That would be a lot easier to believe if you stopped advertising on your web site. Regarding my claims; you cannot provide one substantiated instance where my antennas did not perform as stated. Where are the complaints? Where are the dissatisfied users. One would think after TEN years there would have been some indication of a fraud if one did exist. I just visited your web site. Lots of assertions, little in the way of proof. Or perhaps you simply imagine that all those good folks who find my antenna design a superior one, are merely deluded idiots, as Brian Beasley once accused... When modeling has pointed out those shortcomings, you claim that some new law of physics makes it impossible to model your product and people selling those modeling programs should be disparaged. Nonsense! I have made the assertion - and I continue to do so - that minninec and NEC based programs cannot model my design simply from their inability to simulate a virtual bi-directional coaxial phasing/delay line. A "virtual bi-directional coaxial phasing/delay line." That's a good one. Very inventive. Furthermore, I hold the opinion that there are no assumptions in those programs that would recognize the induced energy that would be present at the reverse input of such a line. Do you have definitive proof to the contrary? Let me suggest, that until you have something of substance to offer in this regard, you should refrain from making false accusations. You have an agenda that overrides any legitimate criticism of Roy's product or integrity. Shame on you. lol... my only 'agenda' here is to point out Roy's distain towards his customers who cannot work through his inconsistencies... Though, apparently, you have an agenda of sorts, otherwise you wouldn't be posting this garbage! Shame in you! Chuck, WA7RAI Hi Chuck, just looking at your web site, it's hard for the ordinary ham to distinguish it from that of any other antenna shark. Do you have any engineering assessments by any qualified, disinterested , antenna testing facility? (Shootouts don't qualify.) 73, Tom Donaly, KA6RUH |

Hi Chuck, It may be regarded as ignorance, especially when your claim is unsubstantiated and demands that your proof is available only through a privileged knowledge. However being ignorant is not the same as being stupid. The onus is upon you to show (resolve ignorance or exhibit it in your own thinking - there are no third options) how your claim is substantial - testimonial is insufficient. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

In short, bafflegab if done intentionally, self deceit otherwise. 73, Tom Donaly, KA6RUH |

In short, bafflegab if done intentionally, self deceit otherwise. Hi Tom, Well considering "virtual bi-directional coaxial phasing/delay line." in isolation, I find it rather un-remarkable (if this is in fact an accurate quote). Afterall, each and every aspect is perfectly achievable by any NEC modeler on the market (even ones with less than standard GUIs). Virtual? That is the first approximation of modeling from the outset. Bi-directional? There is nothing to impede direction in any interpretation. Coaxial? This is merely a tedious exercise in construction. Phasing/delay line? This follows of necessity and application of ANY design of wire described within ANY modeler. Is there something special about the combination of the isolated terms that invalidates their being realized in ANY modeler? That is, is there something special about a "virtual bi-directional" anything that is not achieved separately as "virtual" or "bi-directional?" Further, is there some unique entity of "bi-directional coaxial" that fails resolution in a model? Or is "coaxial phasing/delay" unknown in the art of modeling? I see nothing original and foreign about "phasing/delay line" within the practice of modeling. Does this arcane art only appear at the third order of terms? That is, is there something unachieved by modelers in regard to "virtual bi-directional coaxial?" This goes again to the simple tedium of description of the various wires to construct one - tedium is not unique unfortunately as anyone who has watched the Republicans unsuccessfully try to pass their own agenda within their own majorities can attest. Perhaps it arrives at the fourth order of chaining terms. However, at this point it becomes regressive evidence of that same tedium, which can be simply resolved without a dictionary if only one were practiced in the art of modeling. Let's see, there are 5! ways to de-convolve this conundrum and none appear to be outside of the scope of rendering in a model. As such, it appears to be through the poverty of the carpenter rather than of the tool. Barring testimonials, I may be wrong and my ignorance be disclosed by evidence. Or some may call me stupid but not Ishmael ;-) 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

Hi Chuck, Hi, Richard, It may be regarded as ignorance, It may be regarded as ignorance when one questions a simple term... especially when your claim is unsubstantiated Not in the minds of users, or to those who made confirmation indepently. and demands that your proof is available only through a privileged knowledge. Knowledge comes from experience... anyone can achieve it if they truly had the desire. Getting off one's butt and performing experiments works wonders in this regard... ![]() However being ignorant is not the same as being stupid. Agreed. The onus is upon you to show (resolve ignorance or exhibit it in your own thinking - there are no third options) how your claim is substantial - testimonial is insufficient. Let me suggest, the onus is on you to prove the claim is without substance since you are the one making the allegation. The design is time tested, and I tire of closed minds. If some folks wish to remain ignorant in this regard, it's their loss, for they only deny themselves a better way. I have more important concerns in my life do deal with now. 73, Chuck, WA7RAI 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |

Let me suggest, the onus is on you to prove the claim is without substance Hi Chuck, That is about as funny as when Art appeared here proclaiming the marvels of his new invention - and then telling us it was our responsibility to prove his claims. Can you guess how many years ago that was? I'm afraid you are in line behind cfa claims, eh claims, fractal claims and the notable efficiency per unit length claims. But as you have more important things to do, one wonders why you spend so much time with these trivial issues? 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
