Interesting perspective. You are correct. Those minds could be used somewhere for something.

I JUST WISH THEY WOULD STAY AWAY FROM TECHNICAL DISCUSSION FORUMS.

Unless a close and very powerful signal is saturating any antenna, it would be a myth to say that skip affects its SWR. WW's answer is most correct - IMO...
To keep it honest SWR is the ratio of minimum to maximum current or voltage at the load end of an R.F. generator.

Reflected power is not entirely absorbed by the final amp.

It must be something in the water over in that area of the country around DC, that makes this CB Joker and his follower's come off just plain "full-of-it."

It's the same with all our so-called "government leaders" in the DC area as well, both REP'$ & DEM'$.

No rhyme, no reason, no sense.

U just can't hardly believe a word they say.

Hey HiDef, you and Rob are taking this BS Joker too seriously. His pay grade is not up to the distinctions you make, and I'm not real sure about Rob either.

Maybe. The problem is there are others reading who don't know that. Some people have almost total recall of what they read. Less than correct posts must be repaired otherwise someone will regurgitate it 20 years from now.

Exactly. Someone will read this thread and see some logic to it.
That was my reason for my reply.

Hey Booty,

Now you know better than to challenge the Professional CB Radio Operator Gods, after all they are the self appointed experts who know far more than anyone else on the planet and can argue down every known proven law of physics ever discovered with their time proven (I saw it on my S-Meter) tests..
