Just a quick point before someone takes the wrong interpretation of the
actual facts.
Of course, in this area (in square wavelengths) all antennas work poorly
with practical bandwidth. The experimenter was ill advised to use a good tool
(fractal geometry) in the wrong way; I can think of no expert allusion that
guided him in that direction. Also, Ward, some fractal generators do produce
substantial area reductions with tolerable reduction in performance. Info is
not publicly available to my knowledge:The technology is well-past the
'experimenter stage'. Hence the absence of info for hams and those who gather
info
over the internet. I cannot recommend any good net-based sources. Sorry.
Thanks to K1QX for pointing this post out to me.
