Abstract

Replies that Monzon appears to imply that Jaggard, Liu, Grot and Pelet (see IEEE Trans. Antennas Propagat., vol.40, p.1273-1282, 1992) paper was not completely independent of his published work (see Monzon, IEEE Trans. Antennas Propagat., vol.38, p. 227-235, 1990). A brief chronology of the documented research effort is given to clear any misunderstanding. An abstract of Jaggard et. al. works displayed wire currents which could have only come from numerically solving the chiral integral equation in question. Since they did not have access to Monzon´s paper before its publication it is impossible for their research to have used the results of Monzon. What appears to have happened is that two different groups discovered the chiral version of Pocklington´s integral equation coincidentally and independently
