In 73 magazine years ago there was a issue which dealt with this kind of
thing. The author made this kind of claim he lived in N. Andover MA, Does
the author who started this tread come from there? If so are you still using
the six cubically arrayed concentrically focused, circularly polarized and
canceling conical antennae. The article was title "Madman or Genius"

To the rest of you I have the answers to a number of your questions and know
the technologies, but as some of you have posted, everybody wants the other
guy to do the heavy lifting. My problem is do I take it to my grave,
Question, how many have read any handbooks of
optics/physics/antennae/quantum physics/particle physics/magnetics etc,
cover to cover and marked it up. The problem is do you take it to your
grave. Back to lurking... I don't have time for this, I have more
interesting things to work on.
