The CFA proponents weren't sophisticated at all. The "inventors" probably
read half of chapter one of an undergraduate electromagnetics textbook but
forgot to read/understand the rest. Another source of embarrassment was
that one of the CFA backers was a university EE professor. Go figure.
Extraordinary claims but no extraordinary proof. BTW, in case you're
interested, the British/Egyptian inventors' U.S. patent number is
5155495. It's patented so it must work... 73s from N4GGO,
