[Milsurplus] [ARC5] Smart People: Antenna Matching Mystery

[Peter Gottlieb]

I don't think anyone is getting bent out of shape. 

Some of these terms have very specific meanings so when they are used they should be used correctly. 

An ideal component is a theoretical one which doesn't exist in the real world. A real component is one you can buy. 

From there we added puns.
