No natter how long we're in here there's always something new to learn.
Thanks for all the work Jim.
Too bad so many of the newer generations of hams have so little interest
in the technical aspects, but I think that is true for all STEM subjects.
Wayyyy back and the occupy Wall Street, I remember a girl being
interviewed who was complaining about all the good paying jobs going to
those majoring in STEM subjects (paraphrased). The interviewer then
asked if she knew that, then why not major in one of those subjects.
The answer? Oh, those are too hard! They expect to find any info they
need using Google. If that doesn't work then it's too hard.
Each generation has had a label. I guess I'd call the present one, the
"Look Up Generation", or the Google Generation"
Difficult, maybe, as a student needs to take (and pass) all the needed
classes ahead of time. The math we use as hams is greatly simplified
compared to engineering. We normally deal with only static points, or
look up points on a graph, while engineering deals with dynamic data
using Calculus as does Computer Science. As hams we can normally "get
by" using, at most, basic Trig and Algebra. There are now many pages out
there where we can just "Plug in the numbers" to get answers for many
complex problems. The most difficult part being, finding those pages.

Not true. I've done a lot of research on common mode chokes and
published the results, first in 2005, then in 2008, updated in 2010
and 2016, and most recently in 2018. Once you understand the
equivalent circuit of a ferrite choke, you can analyze it in the
common mode circuit.

Beginning on page 41 of RFI-Ham, I related my interface with engineers
from CIA, the leader of which subsequently forwarded me an
unclassified 1966 DOD study that came to all of the same conclusions I
did.
