Alan, Bill, <><><> I liked Bill's idea that a 10MHz maser can be made very small compared to the 30 metre wavelength at that frequency. It sounds a good idea to me. <><> On Alan's description of Chu's theory, there are those people who claim he has not chosen his mode structure properly and has left out many vehicles for energy propagation. The argument is that there are boundary conditions at the antenna surface and also at infinity; but therefore you should get a continuous spectrum of modes, as in the Fourier theory that Alan refers to, instead of the discrete set of modes postulated by Chu.<><><> regards <><> David.
