Very good point. I do not know whether these deep scientific studies were done 
at NEAR 
FIELD to the antennas or at distances of hundreds of miles away.

The articles / books claim that these yagoi beams have virtually no gain at 
all. I wonder 
whhow NEC would stack up against their measurements? It's in a boob, or article 
so it MUST 
be true. I am just left pondering the same as you - trying to decide where ALL 
that extra 
power is disappearing to...
