Hi Mike
What you say is very true, but, Art is not looking for
confirmation

He wants RRAA validation.. :/

he has already stated that he is not going to hand his findings to
this group on a plate.

After the 3496 miles of fairly incoherant jibber jabber I've read of
his,
I'm so confused I don't even know what his "findings" would be. :/
They seem to change from week to week anyway.
He was touting maximum horizontal polarization, but in his latest
post claims vertical is the only way to fly.
He'll claim all elements are fed in phase, but then claim only
one element is fed. He claims that if you are not using a full
wavelength element, you are not living, and just don't get it.
Like the old codger with too many dogs in "Moonstruck", I'm confused..
:/
But if you talk to Art, he is the only sane one in the group, and
we are all the confused ones.
Everyone, including the electronic engineers of the group are all
living in the past, brain dead, or just don't get it.
But Art, the mechanical engineer who is dabbling in an area
he is not really trained for, has all the answers, and is ready
to rewrite all the books.
I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for this vast overhaul
of gaussian equalibriated gobblygook into the future textbooks..
I have no problem at all with anyone trying new ideas, but
they should test and prove them before proclaiming as fact,
rather than the other way around.
Art talks a great storm, but I see little indication he actually
builds and tests what he is talking about.
As I've muttered before, that is no way to live.
Want to know what the real deal is?
I can tell you.
Delusions of grandeur brought on by his various computer
modeling programs he tinkers with.
He stumbles into something he finds interesting when
modeling, and then he tries to use gaussian bafflegab to
explain it as some new invention. I'm serious.
I can see no other explanation for this behavior.

What he is trying to do is guide others to find for themselves what
he already knows.

How does he know I want to find what he already thinks he knows?
He seems to want to gravitate towards small overly lossy antennas
designed using fairly perverted theories of operation.
I'll have none of that mess around this household.
I want big manly ultra efficient antennas that brown the food in all
directions at once.
