I am mainly interested in expanding my understanding of antennas and
terminology. My first thought was that there is a way of measuring power
that I didnt know about, but everyone else does understand. Since you
arent familiar with the meaning of DC when associated with 144 MHz antenna
power handling, I am comfortable not knowing either.

Thanks

Jerry:

When dealing with xmitters and antennas, it is good to know about ac
watt meters--and, specifically, know enough to get one
responsive/accurate to the frequencies you have in interest.

DC has little to do with xmitters, and, even those of VLF capabilities
.... but then, you should get others opinions.

P.S. Beware the "cardboard gurus!"
