[OKDXA] a light, breezy read on the ether..

[Kim Elmore]

Honestly, up at least through the introduction this is quite readable 
and a good insight into radio history. He credits Marconi with actually 
making the trans-Atlantic transmission on Dec 12, 1901, which probably 
didn't truly happen (Belrose 1995 
https://ewh.ieee.org/reg/7/millennium/radio/radio_differences.html) but 
Marconi clearly *DID* clearly make the path on Dec 5, 1902. .

After the introduction, the text gets a bit mathematical, but it's not 
awful and the explanations of what the equations convey are pretty 
clear. That said, it's not as terrible as it sounds. That said, I've 
been going through Kenneth Davies book "Ionospheric Radio," which is 
*very* mathematical; it's essentially a survey of what is known about 
the ionosphere and all the weird things that affect radio propagation. I 
was acquainted with Ken Davies while I worked in Boulder -- he was a 
great guy.
