[OFARC] RF attenuators

[KG5IRR]

On the 2m net tonight there was a fair amount of interest and discussion
about attenuators.  It was the unanimous opinion of the foxhunt team that
antenna attenuators would have been a big help in locating the fox.
Building them is not that hard but shielding is a must to keep signals from
leaking in.  Fixed attenuators of 10, 20 and 30 db could be made and
combined (cascaded) to achieve additional attenuation as needed.  Here's
some additional information on the theory.
