But what was the basis for his recommendation?
Is there some practical detail that creates a huge problem?
or is it just the simplicity of getting the right element current
when there's no matching network at the feedpoint, and the "current
at the end of the coax == current in the element"
or it allows you to leverage the decades of experience with AM
directional arrays
Sometimes, it pays to revisit the underlying assumptions behind the
traditional wisdom.
