Ah, Jim,
I wish that were so. Shocking, but true. After all yesterday I ran into a
ham and was showing him my HF mobile set-up. He remarked, "why do you need
an antenna when you can operate full duplex anywhere in the world with your
cell phone?"
Study? Who needs to study? Just use your cell phone! Gee .. I really wonder!

Gee, I'm sorry to hear that. I tried very hard to write it for
someone who understood the basics of electronics, electrical
circuits, transmission lines, and antennas. Is that assumption
unreasonable? And I've tried to write in a form that "tells the
story," leading logically from point A to point B to point C.
There's also an important difference between casually reading
something as opposed to really studying it. It took me years to
figure this stuff out, and I understood these fundamentals quite
well. Someone seeing these concepts for the first time should expect
to STUDY it, not just read it casually.
