I omit Tom from this second list only because I haven't yet
met him in person and otherwise haven't gotten any hints of his age --
but I'll take a gamble and spot him 10 years at least.

Well, you can find archived postings from me from 10 years ago that I
think demonstrate that I understood how SWR meters actually work back
then. And you could probably find my name on a patent that would give
you a clue that I was at least starting to learn a little something
about transmission lines in 1969 or so, though I readily admit to not
worrying about "reflection coefficient" back then. Just hacked
through the raw, unabridged transmission line equations. I suppose
Reg would think that a better way to learn the stuff anyway. I had
bought the King, Mimno and Wing book back then, but didn't get around
to actually reading it till much, much later.

Cheers,
Tom
