So it is now the norm not to cancel units of measurement in physics?
Woe is me. Free speech takes on a new meaning for some but not
acceptable from others meaning a term for a formula can now be called
a ratio with units of one's choice. Still, this is amateur radio after
all, it does not have to follow professional standards as most was
learned in the CB era

Art, maybe you should take time to study "dimensional
analysis". It really opened my eyes a half-century ago.
If you want to divide joules by amps, just put the most
elementary dimensions into the division and see what
are the results.

Cecil, this augument is an old one. I remember Roy really get his
knickers
in a twist when some of the group referred to F/B db. Sometimes you
just have to go with the flow. Many antenna experts have given up on
this group
since they could not or would not do what you have done succesfully
i.e. record posts in response to everybody and anybody. I prefer to
provide a subject where I know that those who visualise themselves as
pro's in the business of antennas expose their limitations to the
World. It really is like politics everybody can spout about what is
incorrect but few can offer an explanation of what is correct. Many
just evoke memories of what they did in yesteryearat work or what they
achieved in memory tests at exams when the truth is that the
experience that they refer to is ones that they repeated year after
year but never where they have advanced in technical proweress from
times over 50 years ago, as if the World has stood still. Give me
strength. We really are just a bunch of old men speaking of the old
times with the same stories time over time again as if we are at a
coffee break and where the majority moved over years ago from CB radio
with appliance and technical mentality learned on channel 13 or what
ever it was. Seems like for some over time see their experience of
employment grew to the proportions of giants in industry as they grew
older when in fact they are living in illusions.
Thanks for the free advice as to what I should do but I already have a
life.
