[TVARC] Antennas and such (from Ken P ... a new member)

[Ken Peters]

Hi Ed,
 You’re probably right. I probably understood and and did “cross” much of this stuff 50 years ago.
Today, I hardly understand any of it. My HAM radio for dummies book is helpful. I have seen the various terms and acronyms. With the dummies book I understand what some of them are and were. But, for the most part, I NEED an enigma machine to decipher the lingo. LOL (and exaggeration but not by a much).
   But reading these are good. Some is slowly coming back. It’s fun though. The feed back from TVARC has been beyond my expectations. (Fun & good stuff.)

                                (duh, is that why I don’t get good RF reception?)
