Hi John,

That sounds like ****-poor definition.

I see now that Both Brewster and PBA have to do with polarization.

And certainly one has very little to do with the other - except for
polarization. I'm surprised the author of that article didn't append
his own name to the angle.

Not really looking for a QSO. Just trying to imagine SWL from a
different vantage point, I guess.

Somewhere near the 15 meter band you can get the noise field from
Jupiter. Not exactly sentient, but still an exotic contact.

Jupiter is a broadband radiator. Be glad it stays far away.
