You can dreaming, while I am working :-)
You still don't getit?
The Razors were developed, tested and compared to commercial Yagis on 2m 
antenna test range, which is much better, more controlled environment than 
the HF bands and test sites. VHFers do have antenna measuring contests on 2m 
and 70 cm, that's where the proof of the pudding is. Not some "calculations".
If it is not modeled in an antenna program then it is no good! Wow!
Live and learn eh? What's next, trying to solder the coax to the paper 
antenna?
I said I will subject them to antenna modeling programs, see if the programs 
reflect the true real situation and how close.
My, my what "technology" is doing to people. Two plus two is not four, if the 
calculator doesn't say it?

For those from Rio Linda:
Razors were developed on 2m models on real antenna test range. That's where 
the gain figures and performance comparison was done, found to be major 
improvement in antenna design, and worthwhile scaling and using on HF bands. 
See the upcoming story, beautiful color pictures and explanation of the 
process, so others can try to follow, if they wish.
