Here are a few key point related to the NCJ article:

1. The article is mainly about a practical and reliable way to model the 
K9AY Loop.
2. The reasons for making such an effort included trusting the model to 
accurately represent alternative structures, which ultimately required 
building and testing some of them.
3. One type of new configuration was shown as an example, with brief 
comments including the main tradeoffs.
4. I'm trying to get a comprehensive article written, but it's been hard to 
set aside the time to sort out and prioritize all the big and little things 
I've examined over the years.

I'll try to respond to questions, but be warned that I'm busy with some 
annual projects that bunch up every March-April!
