Dear Martin and LF Group,

Unfortunately, the CFA seems to have got surrounded by a lot of
"pseudoscientific" hype, so it is difficult to tell serious information
about it from the junk.

Hello Friends,
John Belrose (Communications Research Centre, Ottawa)
<[email protected]> presented a paper at the Millennium  Conference on
Antennas and Propagation Davos Switzerland, 9-14 April 2000, entitled "The
Crossed Field Antenna - Analyzed by Simulation and Experiment" in which he
describes a numerical simulation and some experiments he conducted on 3657
KHz.
His conclusions are essentially that "the CFA is a very inefficient
radiator" and that "the excellent operational performance claimed by the
inventors of the CFA is an enigma."
