The gentleman has his patent.
If I disclosed how this could be beat on this forum would I still be able to
get a patent for myself if I so desire? Or would it be best to not disclose
it at all?
I could not see or define the advantages from what I read which is why I
placed the posting.
Absolutely nothing wrong with that Roy, you must be losing it.
Actually I have heard the same thing said of your computor program
instructions

I had to chuckle over this -- Art being critical of another antenna design
because the designer doesn't produce adequate quantitative data or explain
clearly what its advantages are.

Thanks for the entertainment. I need a break from reality once in a while.

I don't operate on 40 M so I may be missing something but exactly what is
it that stands
out with this antenna that would make it desirable to hams? Efficiency
would be reflected by the loads
used which is not necessarily "state of the art". He then states "a
large F/B is effected"
but it doesn't show before and after overlaid plots !
Would hams have an interest in a two element 20 M
antenna that have lower TOA than the norm, say 9 degrees instead of the
normal 14 degrees?
I think I can quickly put one together for the week end while putting the
present assembly aside.
