Same material as has been offered for 6 to 8 years at:
http://www.qsl.net/kb7qhc/antenna/fr...omparisons.htm
which includes 143 pages of other data.

duplicate link but as it also covers variations over iterations, same
material as has been offered for 6 to 8 years at:
http://www.qsl.net/kb7qhc/antenna/fr...omparisons.htm
which includes another 17 pages of data; or
http://www.qsl.net/kb7qhc/antenna/fr...omparisons.htm
offer another 8 pages (6 related to the specific example offered by
Bill)

However, the Triadic Koch is hardly an exemplar of the field of
fractals. The Quadratic Koch usually exhibits better characteristics
(clearly seen in the data from the pages offered).

There is nothing remarkable in the particular form, and even less in
it having a "respectable" name. In fact, the "field" (which is the
equivalent of academic mongoloidism) is so inbred, that you see the
same Kochs breathlessly trotted out every 6 months as though a new
breakthrough has been achieved. I don't blame them, they don't read
each other's papers anyway, and each researcher trusts theirs is the
first groundbreaking discovery. Generally they focus on metaphysical
formulas (you can find my own if this is your reading preference) with
the unstated premise that there is some causal relationship between
form and function. There is, but these gowned clowns haven't got a
clue.

Such antennas have simple rules if you wish to achieve both gain and
matching characteristics, and it has nothing to do with the eye-candy
visual appeal of snowflake forms.

Such cute antennas may sell to the rubes, but you can wave PhDs at the
suckers to the same effect and they will throw loose change at you.
The marketing is similar to the traveling carnival's freak shows.
Some call this success in the marketplace and are rightly ashamed to
display their product. ;-) After all, once your audience has seen
the novelty, discovered how banal it is with casual exposure, the
trade evaporates. The Carny experience lies in playing to the
fetishes of mystery and the purchased exclusivity with shared secrets
of a deformed world. Psychologists call this thrill "Voyeurism."

Since you are an American, Richard, and one company enjoys patent protection
there, is there any reason not to believe that you are not referring to that
company?

Who, pray, are you referring to? None of the references in your post are
commercial enterprises.

Truly as a man of words, you may eoloquently articulate saying who that is,
yes?

Yeah, Richard, where is your patriotism?

Hi Bill,

Hmmm. Do 2800 new voters added to the rolls count for anything these
days? Let's see, my citizenship status qualifies enough for me to
have gathered 50 Absentee Ballots. Last night I rubbed shoulders with
Congressmen at a Fête (nothing rubbed off tho'). However, we did win
the raffle of a trip to South Africa (hmmm, suppose this may be a
subtle hint?).

Maybe John Ashcroft needs to look into your opinion of fractal
antennas....

Isn't he the guy in the Bunker who comes up to see what color his
shadow is? Yellow: 6 more weeks of threats of terror, followed by
light bombing.
