"...on the FLAT SIDE." What does that mean? As opposed to the "up and down side"??

I sent a polite email to the site when I first ran across it a few years ago, pointing out as nicely as I could a few things. Never heard from them, and they haven't changed anything.

I think I covered that under "conceited title",Rick,lol.thats social (not signal) engineering more commonly known as narcissism,or as I call it,the "HOW CAN I POSSIBLY BE WRONG ?" syndrome.

Thats one of those ones if you hear it often enough you still won't believe it.

It used to be to get your license, you had to draw the schematic to your radio and explain how it worked. Now they give the licenses out in Cracker Jacks boxes.

I ain't complaing,dumbing down ham radio got most of the knob jockeys off 11m and onto 2m,can only be a good thing,lol.

Now they can "qrz dx,qrz dx" into the local repeater all day long,pmsl.

Most of them would be hard pressed to draw a sketch of their radios let alone a schematic,as for explaining how it worked,pmsl,that would take you well into the realms of science fiction.

Actually, it is GRP. Glassfiber Reinforced Polyesther.

i also like the guys that say the ARRL book is outdated and no longer relevant .

thats usually one of the battle cries of the "HOW CAN I POSSIBLY BE WRONG ?" group . LOL

did the laws of the universe and how RF acts in it change ?
