Hi Jimmie,

Praise your wife and read the book - then tell her it's great. Arthur
would probably recommend burning it if the index doesn't include
gaussian librium.

Here's a test. Does it have a formula for the radiation resistance of
an elementary dipole or loop? Both?

What would the formula evaluate the Rr of a quarter-quarterwave sized
vertical? For extra credit (applied to this author), what would be
the reactance? You may have to extrapolate that from a chart, but 10
bonus points (applied to this author) if there's an equation.
