[TowerTalk] cage dipole

[jim Jarvis]

Horsehockey!

A cage dipole is simply lower Q and therefore will exhibit wider  
bandwidth than
a single wire dipole.   It will exhibit NO gain over a single wire  
dipole, installed at
the same height, over the same earth.   That's MY engineering analysis.

Wonder if every unit comes with a generous supply of snake oil,  
application of
which is required during installation?

Remember, engineers were just as responsible for the gas chambers at  
Auschwitz and Dachau,
as they were for the space shuttle--or the two shuttle disasters.   
(one of which was a triumph of
management persuasion over engineering reason!)

Hard to believe that the individual threatened you with legal action  
if you didn't recant, Dan.

Any chance that individual is willing to post said engineering analysis
to his company's web site?  It might be amusing to read.
