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 Richard, that's a good analysis. Some inventors like to make up high-sounding names for their brain children, motivated by the same reason John of Trevisa said people learned "Freynsch" in the fourteenth century: "for to be more y-told of." 73, Tom Donaly, KA6RUH |
