And blunt is now a drug reference if you haven't kept up.

Whoosh, over your head.

So who was it that recycled the combat advice?

Combat? I suppose you are fishing for the point award answers.
In Order:
Mr. Natural,
Flakey Foont.

As Mr. Natural would offer:
"If you have to ask,
you're not really with it."

To close out this round of Cultural Awareness, a question from Dr.
Naturlich:
"What does Do Wa Diddy mean?"

Nope, I got that, just got more than that.

Yes, combat - advice given to troops going to fight on the islands of
the Pacific. And I must have forgotten the re-use by Crumb; I used to
have all of them, way back when. I liked the Fabulous Furry Freak
Brothers better.

I simply cannot resist:

"Antennas will get you through times of no propagation better than
propagation will get you through times of no antennas."

I'll admit that I've lost the plot to this thread. Although, I've
picked up some interesting pointers on antenna design with respect to
electrical length. I really need to pick up a copy of the Terman book,
if only to read up on some of the references I've seen here.

At least it will give me a reason to use my erstwhile maths skills for
good, instead of for evil.

I was going to use the original of that one, but decided I shouldn't. I
like your version a lot.
