[Elecraft] Entertaining Tales

[Don Wilhelm]

If the initial post was to indicate that theory and fact were not well 
aligned (That is the way I took it), then I would like to point out that 
much of what was only theory in the 1960s has become more embodied in 
fact in later years.

There is still a lot of mystery and mystic in propagation and sunspot 
prediction, but a lot of antenna theory of the 1960's has been hardened 
in science.  The foundation of electromagnetic radiation is soundly 
grounded in Maxwell's Equations - but they are a difficult study all in 
themselves.

I give a lot of credit to LB Cebik W4RNL (SK) for his modeling skills 
and studies into antennas of various types.
