There may be a new take on antenna design.

The Cross field antenna is said to have as much as 5db gain over a
traditional quarter wave. It has a bandwidth of 30% of the operating
frequency. It does this all at a height of only 3% of a wavelength.

If made into a CB antenna it would be about one foot tall.

I've read a few things about cross field antennas and it seems that the
jury is still out whether the things really work as some claim they do.
I'm not really convinced. Yeah you do get a signal from such an antenna
but is the EM wave being generated as the proponents claim or is it due to
some other mechanism. That will take a lot more theory and some very
carefully performed experiments. You would figure if it was so easy and
obvious that in the past 100 plus years of radio it would have been
invented long ago and proved by experiment.

From what I hear you have a lot of stuff for sale. Most
of which can only be legitimately sold as a doorstop.
How many doorstops do you sell in a year? Two?

You really should go and get a real job. Your mother can't
wait until you save enough money to move out of her
basement.

Sounds like yet another "magic" antenna.

Hey tschmuck, I've always wondered why you would spend so much of your
time thinking about my business... but you do bring up a valid point.
My sales in the past have not met expectations... so I'm taking your
advice... and stepping up my marketing plan via ebay. Thanks for the
tip.

You have it back-wards, look forward to even more google telspam. Unless
you set a filter.
