Hi Doug and Alan,

I just saw Doug's lengthy attachment sent to this open list. Was this meant
to be public?

That's very interesting. In the case of fractal antennas, could you kindly
help us out and cite 'invalid' published gain measurements, or tell us what
you have seen at all? I get the impression you may not have seen anything, or
that the measurements lack validity in your opinion. Appreciate it if you
could clarify this for the group, otherwise it makes it look like many, many
researchers--myself especially--have been remiss and published 'invalid'
results.

Also, Alan, I don't seem to recall seeing your posts on this list which are
quoted here by Doug. What do you mean by "accurate and traceable gain
measurements" for fractal antennas? Are the published results inaccurate and
untraceable? Please clarify. That is the right thing for a scientist to do in
a public forum, if the comments are so presented. These comments are so
presented now as public.

And Doug, if they are "invalid", could you please say why they are so?

I think the list would benefit from knowledge here on this interesting issue
and may benefit from sharing your perspectives if shown why.

Otherwise, I would appreciate it if you would clarify what you mean by
"valid".

Many thanks!
