A fact is a reality. An opinion lacking credible testimony is not a
proven fact.

Wave tilt is a known phenomenon. A wave traveling along the surface of
the earth is slightly slowed by the earth, so it seems to tilt slightly
in its direction of travel, like "dragging its feet".

A wave reflected by grazing a surface has an angle of reflection equal
to its angle of incidence. An incoming wave reflected by the ionosphere
has a tilt with respect to the horizontal.

A Beverage antenna can be as simple as a wire supported at low altitude
above the earth, and a seeming paradox is that although horizontal, the
wire is sensitive to vertically polarized waves. Despite Art`s
questioning that hams would know about wave tilt, an ARRL publication,
ON4UN`s "Low-Band DXing", begins its chapter on Special Receiving
Antennas with the Beverage.

Most engineers in this newsgroup are well aware of the facts needed in
their profession. One particular mechanical engineer is claiming new
discoveries without sufficient supporting information.
