The exact quote from your message on April 11, at 9:57 am is
copied
below. I don't see anything about a bugcatcher coil.
The coil being discussed is a bugcatcher coil modeled in EZNEC.

Since the Corum paper highlighted the limitation for applicability
of
the magic formula it is possible he thought that the limitation
might be
important.
The limitation that Dr. Corum highlighted was the failure of the
lumped circuit model when the coil is self-resonant. He says that
when we are within 17% of self-resonance, the lumped circuit model
fails. Have you anything besides faith to prove that your model
is valid within 60% of self-resonance?

Please describe the physics behind a radical change in velocity
factor (at the same frequency) when a coil is cut in half.

========================================
Dear Cec,

What is the failure mode?
Is it a sudden catastropic failure?
Or does it fail very slowly, gradually and gently?

What is Dr.Corum a doctor of?

From your quotes he sounds like a Quack. Or is he a Witch?

What does he have to say about Fractals, E-H and the other wierd
contraptions?

How many other worshipping followers does he have besides yourself?

Or are you just pulling our varicose-veined legs?

All rhetorical questions of course. Answers not required.

I summoned the spirit of the late Bert Newman G2FIX. Bert thinks Cecil
