[Antennas] What I have learned about antennas from this list.

2003年2月16日 09:09:25 -0500

Yes i agree. When i questioned some of the answers i was given by a post i
made, the replies i received caused me embarassment and a strong desire to
no longer post and prevent further humiliation at my lack of being a real
"ham". According to these individuals i should read my ARRL Handbook more.
You know, the handbook that is written for Engineers!
You have not seen me post for some time. I have learned it is easier to call
HRO or AES or the ARRL and ask them and when i have hung the phone up, i
have my self esteem still intact.
