I can't recall what month and year that was, and I don't want to 
bother looking it up. 

I seen to recall it had a bit of hyperbole in it also Steve. More like 
an advertisement than a technical article.

My point is to NEVER trust any antenna manufacturer for technical 
information. It is like going to a car dealer and asking them how to 
improve your sex appeal.

Trying to say "spend your money with us" always leads to bad 
science, whether Hexbeam, Raibeam, or F-12.
