Or am I reading this the wrong way. Sorry if I am, I have a lot of difficulty in seeing where you get your interpretation. Could you elaborate further for us ?
Cheers

Peratt doesn't really comment any further on this … he gets onto his model of the radio pulses (which we've talked about before).
I still don't see any correlation between this and your assertion that 'spherical radiation emission characteristics is simply incorrect'.
