Art,
The statement, "every thing is known about antennas", was no
more true in Mr. Moxon's day, as it is now. I seriously doubt
if you will find anyone on this NG that thinks "every thing is
known about antennas". It's an opinion, and it's yours.
Happy Holidays...

That statement was given to Hately by a University professor
when he presented the CFA. I have noticed since that most experts
on antennas appear to have the same attitude. Either that or
because of so many fake claims over the years feel it is a
safe bet to denounce or ridicule anything new.
I have spent the last ten years working on antennas and as you know
have written some up and even tho they are "new" they are pushed aside.
What it takes nowadays is for somebody to raise a lot of hoopla in
the press, make enticing claims and then put a price on it knowing
that people prefer to buy.
It is sad but it does seem that with an overload of written material
on antennas hams unconciously really feel that way
If I hear you on the top band I will give you a call on my
rotatable dipole which is not new.
