Well we shall see Roy, but I find it hard to believe that you
with your antenna knoweledge plus being an engineer do
not understand vectors. I can only believe that American
education skirts this issue but then all of my engineering books
including those by known antenna engineering gurus dwell
upon it as well as authors in subjects such as classical
electromechanical fields.
Frankly, I see you as an expert in the field with long experience
and as such feel that all is known about antennas and you
cannot contemplate the idea that this is not so and you of all
people missed the importance of what I stated. This is very much
like the editing of a movie when it is found that the most interesting parts
finished up on the cutting room floor as it was deemed insignificant.
If what I state is confirmed then I will present it to the Radcom people
since QST is now firmly in the hands of experts that believe all is known
and has lost touch with the experimentor to which many of the ham
fraternity still belong.
I am aware that to some I am a poor communicator, but I went out of
my way to clearly inform people on the subject of vectors and
carefully tied the subject back to my original post such that those
with a non science background can follow step by step the trend of
thought of my original posting.

Art

Sorry, Art, but the reason I don't appreciate your ideas isn't because I
don't understand vectors or analysis from first principles or because I
have some sort of prejudice against something in your background. It's
simply that you're unable to communicate your ideas in a way I can
understand them and, for all your many postings, I've yet to see any data
that show you've done something extraordinary. I can only speak for
myself, but suspect that some others might be in the same boat.

O.K..O..K Seems like everybody has forgotton the basics of the polygon of
forces
and other uses of vector so I will go over the basics.
At the age of 14 yearsI entered the School of Engineering and Navigation
where they hashed things from first principles, Since I had little
schooling . . .
