When the information is in the public domain it is not the job of
any vendor to regurgitate it in the form and place you want. Just
because an antenna manufacturer chooses not to reprint Kraus, et. al.
or J. C Maxwell on his web page doesn't mean that the designs derived
from their work and others are not valid or verifiable.
The mindset of so many people that they are *entitled* to personal
answers to every question the moment and in the form they desire just
because they choose to question rather than seek the information on
their own. This is so symptomatic of the ills of modern society.
Just a few years ago rather than demand "push" information, someone
with a real interest in the subject would have gone to the library and
read the journals where they would have found the answers in articles
reviewed by editors of the caliber of G(M)3SEK and other experts.

Uhh ... the burden is NOT on me to substantiate any vendor's claims for
performance. It's on him, and until he does so, I will remain the
skeptic when I see things that have generally been debunked elsewhere,
such as the claim that a loop driven element significantly reduces
reception of man-made noise.
From http://www.g0ksc.co.uk/intro-lfa.html :
"Additionally, the close (sic) loop at the feedpoint deems the LFA less
susceptible to man-made noise and static."

If these antennas have been so extensively modeled and optimized,
there should be a clear comparison available that would tell us
whether the difference warrants the hype.
Do just a little literature search for yourself rather than expect
that UPS will deliver a box of books customized for your skepticism.
There have been dozens of patterns posted on Justin's personal web
site over the last couple years as well as journals in the area and
web sites of other antenna developers. The data is out there but
nobody is going to spoon feed the skeptics.
