Cecil, the ARRL handbook is *not* an academic journal. it's fine to quote
from it, but it's also not the definitive work of electromagnetic theory.

But it is "The Bible" of Amateur Radio and this is an Amateur
Radio newsgroup. Anyone disagreeing with the 2000 ARRL Handbook
should be able to quote some technical references to the contrary.
Where are the technical references that contradict the 2000 ARRL
Handbook statements on "precipitation static"?
