Re: NEC-LIST: CFA-The Saga Continues

Good day all.

Does anyone out there have experience with the Wheeler Cap method. I
have seen this referred to by Gary Thiele and Peter Bohley in a paper
(reference lost - sorry, just the preprint). Unfortunately I have no
experience of this technique, but if it works as claimed, one should
be able to put CFAs to rest once and for all.

Me, I remain skeptical. Seems too much like the high gain, near zero
dimension antenna everybody is looking for to be a good thing.
Somehow the physics does not feel right.

Anyway, even if not for CFAs, I would appreciate some good references
on the Wheeler Cap.

Have a great day,
Duncan Baker..
