How many other people who are not engineers or scientists do you see

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.

Hmmm... I wonder if his obsession with *small* antennas is due to a
personal issue of having a *small* antenna?

I was just thinking the same thing - but you beat me to it

Based upon what you write, I suspect that your textbooks were written by
Dr.Seuss. The most advanced of my textbooks, which was a course textbook
back in the early 1970s was, "Fields and Waves in Communications
Electronics"
by Ramo, Whinnery and Van Duzer; Ramo and Whinnery being the R and the W
in TRW.

Short antennae are poor radiatiors. I refer you to the book, "Antennas" by
"Those Engineers Ltd", a Yank book from 1948 that discusses that issue.

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.
