I couldn’t understand any of it. I couldn’t even work out whether they were transmitting or receiving or both. They talked about water foam of 1 water to 10 air. They mentioned 0.5 mm of water cover. Big drops every inch or two. They mentioned a 30% change (in the right direction). I don’t know how electons would explain any of that. They said that some antennas were badly affected by rain, & some were almost useless. They even said that rain affected an insulated antenna. How the hell did they get that? Much of their stuff was based on models, not actual measurements. In fact none was base on measurement. Say no more. https://www.qsl.net/yu1aw/Misc/wetantenas.pdf --- End quote --- There is no fundamental difference between a transmitting and receiving antenna. That's why they don't have to say whether it's a transmitting or receiving antenna. And no. If you cant see why this is the case it's not because the theory is wrong. It's because you are ignorant. --- End quote --- There is always a difference tween a transmitting antenna & a receiving antenna. It is usually 100 km or 1000 km or more. If there is very little difference, say 1 km, then the antennas can be old cans of Bud Light (355 mL). U say it makes no difference whether it is a transmitting antenna or a receiving antenna. I do see 4 differences. IS IS……………… The transmitting antenna is affected by rain. The receiving antenna is affected by rain. IS AINT……….… The transmitting antenna is affected by rain. The receiving antenna is not affected. AINT IS……….…. The transmitting antenna is not affected. The receiving antenna is affected. AINT AINT……... The transmitting antenna is not affected. The receiving antenna is not affected. --- Quote from: SandyCox on February 25, 2022, 03:13:05 pm ---Engineers analyse antennas by solving Maxwell's equations, either theoretically or numerically. These solutions tell us that rain has an effect on an insulated antenna. Rain changes the electromagnetic environment on and around the antenna. --- End quote --- I am very interested in exactly why an insulated antenna acts differently when wet. I would be even more interested in any measurements that confirmed that why. --- Quote from: SandyCox on February 25, 2022, 03:13:05 pm ---You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. You are wasting your time on scientific conspiracy theories that are based on ignorance and misconceptions. (Like Catt's paper.) Why don't you rather spend time to familiarize yourself with the theory of Electromagnetics? --- End quote --- I don’t think that antenna designers or users have conspired to cover up Einsteinian problems. I am looking for antenna instances where drifting electrons give a better explanation than my electons. And where my electons give a better explanation. And where both work ok. And where both don’t work. And i suspect that these instances might be more apparent if we introduce insulation on the wires. And perhaps wet antennas can tell us something worthwhile. Antenna designers & users have no idea what i am talking about, ie my electons. And antenna designers & users have no idea that their precious radio waves are not photons. And that photons are not radio waves. But ignorance & misconceptions do not appear to have resulted in them wasting their time. But mightbe it has. They might be thrilled to hear of my electons. And my explanation for radio waves. Funny. At a family reunion some years ago i had a nice argument with one of my relatives re electricity & re radio waves. He has written a number of books re design & wiring of radio stuff. Anyhow i heard that he got cleaned up by a runaway trailer whilst cleaning the roadside with his club, & that he has brain damage. I doubt that i will have a chance to ask him what he thinks about my electons. |

While I was still in grad school in the 1970s, I attended a lecture about the following experiment (new results at the time): https://aether.lbl.gov/www/projects/u2/ The cool thing described in that lecture about the experimental setup was that it required cutting holes in the stressed skin of a U2 spy plane, which required getting retired Lockheed engineers back to do the mechanical analysis. Flying at very high altitude with two different frequency antennae, it was able to map the anisotropy of the background radiation, far above the pigeons and oceans. As discussed very briefly on that page, the experiment was repeated in the southern hemisphere with the same results. About the same time, I also attended a lecture by one of the two (Penzias or Wilson) about their ground-based experiment, complete with cleaning out the pigeon droppings, but 50 years later I don't remember which of them presented the lecture. |

The anisotropy of course confirms my aetherwind stuff. Funny. Years ago my wife & i visited an old girlfriend of my wife, & her new hubby from theusofa was an engineer who had worked on the design of one of the U2s. But we didnt discuss the U2. And i had a pigeon (a gift) that had won the premier pigeon race in Ozz, the Alice Springs to Adelaide. I could tell a very sad story about that pigeon. |

LOLOL "CMBR is rubbish and doesn't exist according to an uncorroborated Soviet antenna and the opinions of a medical radiologist" "Of course CMBR proves the aetherwind." I really ought to be doing other things but I can't help myself. :-DD |
