As for the organ grinder's monkey, I am surprised that you lower yourself
to
his level, for he has no technical acumen whatsoever, and his history
since joining
this NG 3 years ago is nothign but a litany of attention-seeking
anti-social infantile outbursts.
Don't believe me? I suggest that you should examine only the last month's
outpourings into uk.radio.amateur
by stephen thomas cole.

The last month's ???? Only the last 24 hours should convince you.

If nothing else, there is someone who chose his callsign to commemorate his
CBer days.

Need I say more?

Tell us again about your short radiators, Gareth.

Don't encourage him. His twaddle is all in the archives if you must read
it. The sooner he goes back to sulking because he is being ignored the
better.

Once again, your only contribution is infantile abuse.

I do not sulk and your allusion thereto is a further invention, a straw man,
of
your foetid imagination.

Why do you behave that way?

And why remove the cross-post to hide from our American cousins your true
nature?

Do you mean his two inch one?

1. For those who suggest that RF transmissions are made up of photons,
what is the amplitude envelope of each photon, and for how many cycles
does
it exist?

Consider this. Waves and photons exist in visible light at any frequency.
If the frequency is lowered below the visible spectrum all the way down to
say, 1 MHz, at what point do the photons disappear?
Or do they just get weak?

Photons exist in visible light at MANY frequencies where such frequencies
are generated by the transition of an electron to a lower energy orbit
around an atom.

What is the mechanism by which your photons at 1 MHz are created?

I am not arguing with you Gareth. I think I am agreeing. I am lacking in
theory. I freely admit that. I am going on common sense. Photons, light
move through our atmosphere in a straight line unless reflected by air
temperature layers or mirrors. EM radiation moves through our atmosphere
in a more complex way. It is reflected by our ionosphere or might be
absorbed by something.

My receiving antenna is a shielded loop. The antenna itself is copper
and then it is covered with an aluminium shield that is grounded to stop
the electrical part of the EM transmission. This guarantees that I will
not receive any light/photons from my antenna.

It simply makes no sense to me that I am receiving any information via
light.

I would love to hear a simple explanation that explains to me why my
inverted V on 75 meters is emitting photons/light when I put 1500 watts
of power to it. I remember years ago in physics class that this
discussion came up in my college classroom. The professor told us that
EM transmission was completely different than the transmission of light.
It had occurred to me that if we built a transmitter on a frequency of
visible light that somehow light would be emitted from the antenna. He
said that there would be EM transmission but no light. I accepted his
opinion because he knew far more than myself.

I have accepted that explanation since 1968 when he was teaching that
class. What I hear being said here is that EM transmission is composed
of photons. I always thought of it as a simple electromagnetic wave,
like what we use in transformers and radio communications every day.

Again, what I hear being said here is that radio waves are just lower
frequency light waves. Really?

Not looking for a flame war, just a simple answer to my question.

Yes, radio waves are just lower frequency light waves, and light waves
are just higher frequency radio waves. And both have the properties of
photons as well as the properties of waves.

The important thing to realise is that photons don't have to be linked
to light, despite their name, because the light-related name was just a
historical accident of how they were discovered. The photons equivalent
to lower frequency electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves can't
be seen and get to and from antennae even if they are effectively
screened from the light.

Thanks for that polite response. I really could not ascertain an answer
through all the static before.

It appears my professor was mistaken, or perhaps he was telling us what
was known at that time.

Now what ham radio needs is a completely new type of communication. I am
thinking of those twin particles that react to one another regardless of
distance and without the delay of distance.

I think this was demonstrated very well on Star Trek. They can talk
across light years instantly. To bad Gene is dead. He could have helped
us all out with just how to do this. It was in all the scripts, it must
be true. It is my mythology so don't be making fun of it.

Read about quantum computers - way beyond my understanding - but instant
communication is probably not totally far-fetched. But anyone who
knows is welcom to contradict me on this!
