[Elecraft] Maxwell's Equations.

[Mike Markowski]

Kevin and all,

Check out the wiki page

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_equations

and about halfway down look for the section named "A Dynamical Theory of
the Electromagnetic Field" where it talks a little about it.  In short,
Cartesian vs vector!
