the principle. However as principles and seeking validation go, no

So far you have not provided support for your statements on this subject
from any recognized antenna authority. Do you really believe that your
understanding of this, and your statements about it are better/more accurate
than those of Frederick Terman and George Brown?

Hi OM,

What you demand is simply a lazy form of leaning on authority without
presuming to investigate the principles involved. I am not interested
in top loading dwarfs or in replacing simple insights with name
dropping and personalities.

From your post above we must take it that you have investigated what
Brown/Terman have to say on this subject, and can prove them wrong. If you
wish your statements to be believed above theirs, you will need to show your
work. Immortality awaits.

Wasn't George Brown one of the ancient trio of experimenters who laid
out 118.5 radials but all three forgot to measure the most important
characteristics - ground conductivity and permittivity!

How kind, I am usually accused of that, short a T.

No, no, OM, I simply observed how you dredge up authorities to impeach
them. It's a tough act to follow. :-)
