has anyone modeled the gain in S units (or db's) provided by a  freshly
cleaned, polished and shined yagi over a weathered corroded same type yagi?

Also, is there a model or program available to show the life of aluminum
proportionate to the amount of wattage it emits?  As I recall the Institute
for Advanced Studies at Princeton University was granted a Central
Intelligence Agency grant, to prove the theory that loss of aluminum or
aluminum oxide particals was directly proportionate to the amount of power
it exuded, the loss of aluminum oxide molecules being calculated at the
resonant frequency divided by the average mean temperature in centigrade.
the quotient then being multiplied by power in watts.
