Roomcap in the Internet: Read this

Dear OM,

many thanks for your request of a technical article or construction guide.
Due to the following happenings, I have them no longer freely  available on the Internet.

Since more than 40 years I am experimenting with electronics and antenna constructions.
In 1963 I built my first magnetic loop antenna.
After studying the Maxwell equations I had a new idea in the year 2004.

Based on this idea I built a new antenna in 2005 for the 40m band, of 1.5m length, and
published the results by Packet Radio and in the Internet. Then, I obtained a number of
negative critics from OMs, telling that such good results would not be possible, and that
I would tell ridiculous stories to the HAM radio community.
Disregarding such comments I continued the project, developed new versions and made
comparisons with all other antenna types I had access to. I further published the results,
even so experts with  much (and no) antenna experience told me to be a fool.

This remembers me to the story that happened with aviation pioneers. When they tried
their first vehicles, the world was laugthing, and the experts wrote, that  this would be a
pure nonsense ...  yes, today we know, that a Jumbo with 500 passengers never will be
able to fly, and that the experts told the full truth ...   !!!

In the meantime I built this antenna from 10m to 160m, where the radiator of the 160m
version is just 3m long, and all versions are providing incredible good results.
(See home.tiscali.ch/hb9abx/ant--abx-e.htm ).

For the project RoomCap I spent up to now over 1100 hours. If I would calculate this time,
a price would result in an unaffordable amount for radio amateurs. The result of this project
is given under the contract to the interested HAMs worldwide, without covering anything
for my own effort.

In the last time, many critics were written, some from people with EE degree and even
professors of universities (!), where the facts are completely reversed and the arguments totally wrong.
Written by people, who have never seen or having measured this antenna.

All this made me change my position regarding publication of my work.

My technical articles (construction guides and valuable information), which I published since
10 years freely on the Internet are no longer available on my homepage, according to the saying:

Don’t throw your pearls to pigs.
(I write this due to the behaving in the PR mailboxes - and some sysops, who delete permanently all my messages
about my new antenna.)
The technical articles (except RoomCap antenna) are available for sFr.10.-  per article.
(Only in Swiss Francs CHF, select CHF in the Paypal Menu for payments, Paypal makes the
currency convertion from your currency).

Technical articles are delivered by E-Mail, after obtaining the corresponding amount.
The amount can be payed by one of the following ways:
- Through Paypal ( www.paypal.com  to email address as indicated below under "address" )
- Sent in a letter (wrapped into paper)
- Personally here in Basel (after appointment by phone)
- per Bank (Postcheque), but only in Switzerland, taxes from abroad are too high.

---------------------------------------

The construction guide for the RoomCap antenna can be ordered according to the following conditions:

Conditions:

Each one who wants the construction guide has to sign a NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement), and has to
make a contribution to the RoomCap project.
This contribution is: 100.- Swiss Francs,
(Only in Swiss Francs CHF, select CHF in the Paypal Menu
for payments, Paypal makes the currency convertion from your currency)
.
Payable as written above. No further charges apply.

distributed free of charge to the owners of the guide in form of  e-mails. The owner of
the guide has to request the updates according to the update-link in the construction guide.
The NDA also applies to the update material.

and completion of the payment.

I thank you very much for your comprehension
