The lengthy, lucid, and cogent response above, by Roger Elowitz, K2JAS,
was dead on the nail's head!
Tweak away, QST!!! It's great and I look forward to each April.
A pox on those that cannot take a little humor. I know they sell salt
in the grocery store and a few grains don't cost much.... so take the
articles with a grain or two of salt and enjoy them..... and learn not
to believe everything that's in print!!!! (and that can be a valuable
lesson).
