fractal antennas

[burts]

i saw them on the net the other day and passed them by just thinking it was nothing to do with our antennas but had a good look today and these things look like they will be the answer to many a antenna problem, no links but just google fractal antenna

this is a discovery to me but it might be old news to you

I think the jury is still out. They've been using them on very high level technology stuff like mil/gov. Even if they did provide better performance for smaller surface area, I'm sure it will come at at very high price. But so far from what I've read, I'm not convinced they're anything more than the latest techno-hype.

Old news to me and I have two words for them, snake oil. Now can I interest you in a cell phone antenna booster? How about a nice bridge in New York? It's really pretty at night.

They need to hire the guy that sells those ebay 'goal-post' antennas.
