you are.  If it doesn't agree with experiment, it's wrong.

W9YF (ex W9YYF) Jack Spencer SK

I recently learned from Jack's long time good friend W9UCW that Jack passed
away on August 8th. He had gone down to the ham rig at 2:00 for a sked, and
when he didn't come up by 5:00, his wife Carol went down to check on him. He
was in his chair at the rig, with his head on the desk. The EMTs did their
best, but he was gone. Jack was very active on VHF and EME when I first met
him at a Chicago land hamfest in the early 70s. He was a big 2M VHFer in the
Chicago land area and when the band was open, Jack was there. I was
especially impressed with his multi layer Rhombic array that he built to
allow him to bounce 2M signals off the moon to work another famous VHFer,
now SK Kjell SM7BAE. 

His obituary can be found here.
