Content preview: Hi Pat, agree with you: is just the matter how is the efficiency of a radiator. Today the efficiency of my TX antenna for MF/LF is 0,0000000000000... because I have to fix it so I cannot transmit but I was anyway faced to antenna gain in the range of -30dBi (1kW in for 1W radiated) things can also be worse but a transmitting MW with efficiency in the range of -35dBi could still be worth the bill of the power company!

The nature of the "field" so created then becomes the debating or debateable point! Knowledge for its own sake is surely as valid as for any other reason! It is all philosophy! 73 On 10/07/13 11:57, marcocadeddu@tin.it wrote: > Hornets cannot fly! > I find interesting and intriguing the discussion: understand how > things works is of course very important and leave to other to state if > this has to come before or after experimentation. > My first approach to MW was dictated from hirony.. how can such thing > work?
