The reason I'm making this seemingly outrageous statement is that
NOBODY HAS EVER QUANTIFIED, not even once, what they are waffling
about. This demonstrates a great ignorance of the subject.

The last time you made a similar statement (not long ago) I referred you
to my article on baluns, then and now available at my web site, which
includes measurements of imbalance when various balun configurations are
used. Have you looked at it yet?

Perhaps somebody might be prepared to state the power actually
radiated from feedlines in watts. At least it may create the
impression you know what you are talking about.

Let's begin a little more simply. Can you tell us how many watts each
portion of an inverted-L antenna radiates? How about each element of a
Yagi? Or even, say, the outer 1/3 of a dipole?

If you can't, may we assume that you don't know what you're talking
about when you discuss antennas?
