For example, if one had a loop antenna suspended in free space, would the
ground loss resistance become zero?
If one has ANY kind of antenna suspended in free space, the ground loss
becomes zero. [grin]
This is why "miracle" antennas based on even the wackiest distortions of
science seem to work if one models them under the right conditions. (Yes, I
mean the CFA among others. Have you heard the current "theory" behind its
operation? Maxwell had it all wrong, according to Dr Kabbary...antennas
radiate because of energy vortexes, which only a genuine, authentic, patented
Kabbary-tuned CFA can produce properly! So abandon all Marconis and loops,
ye doomed experimenters, for thine antennas will simply cease to emit some
fine morning....)
