Hal I think you are right
It is magic!.
I think that this subject has been pushed to one side during the last
century in the event
anybody should come along and say all is known about antennas
so we can put them in their place.
Someday, someone will come along with an answer and then we can all jump on
him
and ask him to prove it so the monkey is not on our backs.
The post did attract a lot of interest tho even if there was not a cigar
supplied.
It really is amazing what photons can do when they become all entangled.
Time to get back to what SWR really entails when all can put their two
pennies
worth in.
I've got to now draw a circle with a compass and observe how the shape
changes when
replotted with logrithmic and other types of graph paper

So to the gurus of this group, what actualy creates
the narrowing of the forward lobes ?

The narrowing of the forward lobes is
caused by constructive interference
during superposition of EM waves.

Darn - I thought it was pure magic.
Now we hear all about induced currents and interference patterns
cancelling
in the rearward and the sides, but constructively interferring in the
forward direction. All in an attempt to become the chosen guru of the
original poster.
If nominated, I will not run - if elected - I will not serve.
