Excuse me, no offense intended, but THE RULES NEVER CHANGE. This is 
physics. Sometimes we discover that what we thought were the rules need 
some refinement. The Kinstar design just applies the rules differently 
to some advantage. The notion that the rules have changed is what is so 
often claimed by antenna marketeers, and unfortunately many hams fall 
for it. The laws of physics are solid.
