I'm not supporting a report. I'm supporting WORK done in a 
scientific manner, and shared with the ham radio community. 
Furthermore, to TEST their work, I would have to repeat it. I 
don't have those resources, nor that expertise. Have you tested 
it? Have you done ANY research and published it for the ham 
community? 

I don't know Ward, I've met and chatted with Steve several 
times, and watched him raise a tower and antenna for a friend 
in Cupertino, K6TD. These guys have contributed something to 
the ham community. Yes, they have asked that we contribute to 
their work by paying for it. 

For the last four years, I've been doing extensive research on 
RFI and ferrites as suppression tools. In doing so, I've plowed 
a lot of new ground. I've published both the technical research 
papers and tutorial applications notes. All of that material is 
on my website as pdf for a free download. As of a month or two 
ago, the tutorial on RFI for hams that I posted around in 
December has been downloaded more than 100,000 times.
