[K3CAL] OAM Electromagnetic Waves (Twisted Radio Waves)

[N3AE]

Now here is something new and different ... a previously unknown or misunderstood way for electromagnetic waves to propagate through space. May make is possible to have multiple transmitters and receivers on the same frequency at the same time with no interference. 

But from theory to practice (that nasty engineering part) may take a while. I have no clue how to generate a OAM wave on 20 meters let alone receive it. I suspect the ionosphere would introduce problems too.
