Good marketing is why NASA uses gold to reflect signals on satellites an they use it to reflect uv and ir on their headgear and I have a welding shield with a gold plated lens that I can see true when not welding and still be protected when welding. The reflective qualities of gold outweigh the fact that it is heavier and softer than most metals.
I can't explain anything without repeatable or reproducible data.
Neither can anyone else.
If you feel one is better than the other so be it. I can't help what one feels.
Funny saying in my boss's office:
'In God we trust... all others bring data'[/QUOTE
I like that quote, yea thats why I started with apparently, many variables regarding reflection, refraction and absorbtion in a medium. NoWheels with try both and lets see some results on his tests.
Back to back flights with 30 minutes intervall will have same weather condition.
Suppose it goes 3k with aluminium and 4k with copper, how you will explain that ?, parabola precision ?
I think he will use same model, so same parabola.
I'm not totaly disagree with you. From what i'v read, the mathematic of the parabola is really important.
It's not the metal that matters. That's marketing hype. Gold??? LOL
How does that screen on your microwave door protect you? It's full of holes! Think about it.
Its the properly shaped parabola, proper positioning on the antenna, and the surface smoothness.
Back-to-back comparisons are anecdotal without proper setup and controlled conditions. It will not yield any information regarding metal effectiveness due to the other overriding factors.
hehe if someone was making sarcastic assumptions, creating ill will, i likely wouldn't share my results even if i did take the time to drag the windsurfers into our RF test lab..... if you occasionally open your mind people will surprise you. if you assume they wont , you usually will be right, but not because they cant.. because the won't
