Put a sine wave in an antenna and you get a sine wave out.

Very true

Kraus says:
"The currents on the transmission line flow out on the antenna and end
there, but the fields associated with them keep on going."

Could be


Art in a previous posting said I should quote "Lady Chatterley`s Lover"
as people were tiring of Terman. I read it before it was even printed in
the U.K. (1960) but this is an antenna newsgroup and Terman is more
appropriate.

But I have never read it!

I don't believe I pointed to " Maxwell" but all of the scientists
involved with radiation, and there are many. I didn't make a point
of searching for the names just don't recall seeing them.


If people want something other than Terman, he gives a terrific
bibliography at the bottom of page 864 in his 1955 opus.

I will take a look at that


Art also said in a previous posting that Terman did not credit Maxwell
with defining radiation. Let me put the lie to that.
On page 864 of his1955 opus, Terman writes:

"The laws governing such radiation are obtained by using Maxwell`s
equations to express the fields associated with the wire; when this is
done there is found to be a component, termed the radiated field having
a strength that varies inversely with the distance."

Jim Kelley supplied the URL of Lincoln`s Thanksgiving Day proclamation
during the American Civil War. It goes back much before Lincoln.

Thanksgiving predates the joint celebration of English colonists and
American Indians at Plymouth in 1621. Thanksgiving gatherings have
occurred throughout the world and throughout history. In America, the
natives traditionally had several of these festivals a year long before
the Europeans arrived. The English colonists did not call the 1621 event
a "thanksgiving". They actually had their first thanksgiving in the
summer of 1623 for rain which ended a long drought.

Happy Thabksgiving!

Best regards, Richard Harrison, KB5WZI

If only President Lincoln had known. He could have saved himself the
trouble of proclaiming it. Maybe he would have called it Turkey Day
instead - like I do. :-)

Interesting. My first observance of Harvest festival when my church
had products that had been harvested from the earth on every surface
that was flat. These products were given to the poor who lived rent
free
on grounds owned by the church. At the same time King George dished
out
special coins known as "Maunday" money since he was head of the
Church of England
courtesy of Henry VIII.Since it was puritans that first settled in
America
I suspect that the church function was also connected to the Catholic
church
heritage. Looks like Lincoln rolled it into one celebration after the
Civil War
tho it is suggestive that the church holiday was in position before
then
but with the name unknown.
Thanks JK
