Where was it proved that RF was passing thru the chassis and not one of many
possible openings? I asked that question days ago and no one cared to
answer.
Why doesnt RF pass thru the back of a solid parabolic reflector? Or even
thru a mesh reflector dependent on the opening size and frequency?
Why does a perfect yagi have infinite F/B?
