[Elecraft] Entertaining Tales

[Bert Rollen]

LB was a friend of mine and an amazing guy.  He also was a charter member and frequent presenter at our East Tennessee DX Association, and (if not already known by the list) an Elecraft K2 owner.

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.
