>From a posting on QRP-L on the magic of radio....

"It is truly amazing what a little bit of RF can do."

There is a fundamental reason for this:  When you play
with RF, you are toying with the most powerful long-distance
force in Nature's universe.  More than a billion, billion,
billion, billion times stronger than gravity, for example.
Wiggle just one tiny electron, and with only a delay
dictated by the speed of light, every other electron in
the universe feels it, and reacts to it.  

The fact that mankind has learned how to harness this force 
marks an impressive step in the ascent of man.  All thanks
to luminaries like Gilbert, Faraday, Maxwell, Heaviside, 
Einstein, and of course many others.

Never to be taken for granted in my head.
