nothing about a Helical wound slim jim. Of course, this begs the

The results are predictable, boringly so, and several have already
been down that road to no net gain. However, common sense in these
matters can be discarded if only someone offers validation, however
slim that may be from any jim. Such inventors stand on the shoulders
of dwarfs. Sorry for the allusion, as it again reprises the obvious
that physical height in relation to a standard (wavelength) dominates
the principle. However as principles and seeking validation go, no
doubt the topic will drift towards top loading dwarfs....
