post information on such a creation?

Arthur don't be so silly. As a fellow over-the-edge old fart
mechanical engineer you've obviously missed some some fundamentals.

Back in the day the IEEE and the ASME came to an agreement: They
wouldn't fiddle with Mohr's Circles if we didn't fiddle with
electromagnetic wave mechanics. You're in violation Arthur so so knock
it off.

How many countries do you have confirmed on 160?

Not hardly. You pounced on my post within minutes. Strikes me as
rather "active" eh?

So I'll rephrase the question: How many countries did you work on 160
when you "were active"?

I have never made a list of countries worked. Never had reason to do
it
I have only entered one "competition" when I was challenged to compete
in being 1 of the three
of the 9th group to have a contact with some station. I was never
given any warning of the when and where but I can say the noise was
horrendous. Why people subject themselves to that I do not know. On
the other side I generally use ham radio to keep in touch with my
friends in the UK which now I do by phone.Why all these questions? Is
another assault in the offing
from a college lecturer?
