Well, Skip Channel was asking about that particular magazine. I assume the editor only accepts valid stuff, but obviously can't check eveything, and of course any articles published aren't "scientific papers", of the type that would be peer reviewed in technical "journals".
I'm sure the spherical antenna's inventor is sincere, I don't wish to suggest otherwise, but I'm also fairly certain there's no "magical" technique that "bypasses" known physical laws (if there were, money and patent lawyers would quicly follow .....). But, there might be a "niche market" for what he's done, if it fulfills some particular local need.
Receiving where you "shouldn't"? Mght be all sorts of reasons. I use a 40 cm Sky minidish - from behind a double glazed window! - and can get Hotbird, although I'm "not supposed to" (always the stronger transponders, and sometimes most of them, depending on weather!).
