Thank goodness for nothing spared. With nothing spared in that battle,
there was plenty of nothing to spare for WWII.

It is akin to writing, eg, that "Mr Churchill spared nothing to win

It is certainly true that Winnie spared nothing to lose the Battle of
the Dardanelles in WW1.

Everything appears quiet on the Western Front. So let's waken things
up.

Is there anybody about who still imagines that an SWR meter, located
in the transmitter, or even on the other side of the tuner, indicates
SWR on the transmission line between transmitter and the antenna?

In all seriousness, Reg, don't you think it would be better to be a
bit more clear about what you mean by the "other side of the tuner".
So far as I'm concerned, until I know what side of the tuner to which
you refer, I wouldn't want to comment.

Reg,

Instead of yet another posting on the topic beyond the 20 or so you've
already blessed us with proposing the new TLA (three letter acronym) of
TLI, why don't you start by contacting Agilent (formerly HP), Narda,
Anritsu, and the other manufacturers of precision terminators? Surely
those professionals will see the impeccable logic of your proposal, and
will immediately cease publishing a maximum SWR specification for their
terminators. Then the manufacturers of RF transistors, directional
couplers, attenuators, and other RF devices, which now have input SWR
specifications, will follow. Of course, they can't call the former SWR
the TLI, since it's not indicating anything, and there's not necessarily
a transmitter involved. And the whole object here is to be consistent
and rational, after all. So how about "RER" for "Reg Edwards Ratio", as
in "guaranteed maximum RER = 1.1"? No one should confuse that with
anything else.

Wouldn't this be a wonderful world (AWW) if only we were always strictly
logical (ASL)?

I don't think emotions are involved here, Reg, it seems to have to do
with reality.

Since you were the first to be "ploinked", you can be
president of the club. :-)

Reg, if he really doesn't like you, he will "ploink" you,
akin to being shunned by your religious sect (a fate worse
than death). :-) If you do succeed in getting "ploinked",
you can join our prestigious club (but not before). What
I did to get "ploinked" was to say that an antenna is a
"distributed network", not a "lumped circuit". Who knows,
maybe that would work for you also to get "ploinked"?

Bob,

To follow that American tennis player : "You can't be serious!
*!!*&$***!!! "

If initially it's inside the transmitter then on the other side of the
tuner implies it's on the other side of the tuner from the
transmitter.

Unless, of course, it's mounted in the 115V power lead TO the
transmitter.

Now can you comment? ;o)
