- <#441#>One reviewer expressed surprise at this radius, but
Ludwig's paper does indeed verify this rule. This rule actually
refers to each polarization, so as Ludwig comments, ``twice
surface area rule'' might be a better name. Trueman and Kubina
give the same formula for wire radius [#Trueman90##1###, p.21]. Wires of this
radius are on the verge of being too thick for the thin-wire
treatment in NEC2 (the extended kernel option does not help with
a mesh, since it cannot be used for segments with a complex
junction), but experience has produced generally acceptable
results following this rule.<#441#>

- <#283#>Editing major element coordinates, or selecting
wire segments for excitation, are exceptions to this rule. In
these cases hitting escape ends the editing or selecting
session. An element thus incorrectly created is removed
by deleting the major element.<#283#>
