Trouble is you don't really think like a scientist or engineer.


I'm neither. I managed to build a phase modulation synthesiser despite that.
I get by. And I usually do that by being willing to go beyond my 'comfort
zone'. How many other people who are not engineers or scientists do you see
posting around here?

In discussions about short antennae, quite a few from Yankland.

I'm just a regular ole ham here. Never studied any of this stuff
in school, and don't work in any related field.
Everything I've learned, I learned on my own. Mainly from books,
of which I have several. I trust good textbooks a lot more than I
trust usenet jibber jabber. Usenet jibber jabber is only as good
as the qualifications of the one jabbering. Some info is good, some
is bad, and some is pure unadulterated bafflegab.

Big talk from rraa's new purveyor of bafflegab... I've forgot more
than you know, and you can take that to the bank.

About what? I read what I need to read in order to do whatever it is
I need to do. I don't need to read any more about small antennas in order
to deal with the likes of you. As you recall, I was probably the first one
to jump on you when you falsely claimed that small radiators are inefficient.
Anyone that has actually read up on the subject knows that that is not true.
If anyone needs to invest in some good textbooks on the subject, it's you.

When you reply to him you are showing how ignorant you are no matter
what you say.

Me too. I'm, mostly self taught, and try to find those internet pages that
look most like the old texts I found in libraries. Putting that better, I
look for those that look like I can get a grip on it and verify with other
efforts. I have to take some on trust, because I can't do that much for
myself, alone, and I'm no mathemetician either.

(regarding trust, I hear several times a month that even scientists can be
very selective of their facts. This observation coming from actual scientists
too.)

Best bit of wisdom I heard recently was that the way to peace is to admit
that 'we do not know'. Works for me, as it;s true more often than not.
