Is this article intentionally vague on the details of the technology or is it just me? Other then "distributed load monopole" there isn't much beef there. Would be interesting to see the patent application.

I agree, the details are pretty sketchy at best. I'd like to check out the patent app, too, and cobble together my own version of the antenna to see how it performs.

Yes it is vague.

On top of that you don't "test" an antenna by seeing "how far it will go". You make field strength measurements relative to and/or with a reference antenna under controlled conditions.

Very odd article.

I hope it's true.

N8BSG here...

Sounds to me like a loop antenna, where the height of the stack of windings of the loop would be 18 inches, for instance.

Yes, antenna design is a black art.
