Bob, again there are times that I do get corn'fused, but I have my days, and I have a clear idea about what I see in my Eznec model. If I miss something that folks say sometimes, I can only hope it is not stupidity, or even ignorance...but just maybe my confusion...due to out of controlled diabetes, which makes it difficult at times. I can't deny it, Bob. I'm also having some trouble seeing well any more...and that presents it own problems.


I just recently had a positive break thru in my lack of control with my diabetes. I'm taking a new drug that is working finally to lower my blood sugar to normal levels...if I eat like a rabbit. I've purposefully lost nearly 30 lbs, so bear with me a little. All I've ever wanted to do in this case is maybe help simply prove how the S4 design works.


Again I mean well, and I'm just trying to help solve a difficult question.


I don't want to put words in your mouth, so to speak, but I think you have often said...you don't know exactly how much RD is generated by the cones area of the S4/NV4K. I may just differ with your understanding in this area only...based on my idea that the cone area does not generate much if any RF into the far field. However, I do conclude that some incomplete cancelled RF in the cone does radiate, and it can be either constructive or destructive, so the whole S4 antenna does radiate. Plus even if the cone is radiating CMC like you, Donald, and others describe...there is just not much radiating into the far field.


I'm asking you give me a little slack from the personal attacks Bob. I refer to you at times, and I should be more careful the way I do that, but I don't disrespect you Bob.
