Years ago, I would get excited when I read about "The New Antenna" that 
doubles as a floor lamp to keep spouse happy and on which you can 
operate all bands and make DXCC in a weekend.  Then, I discovered James 
Maxwell got it all right back in the in the 19th century.  Some things 
never change, that's why I graduated in Math.
