[TenTec] New and Improved Terminology

[Stuart Rohre]

I do agree, Gordo should have been more precise, but I see no conflict 
with Gordo's meaning, if he meant the shape of the power envelope (as I 
think he did), and Severn's second quote you have, "except to increase 
the power radiated for a given power input."  To me shape is not an 
angle, but a 3 dimensional concept.  It is kind of like how many angels 
can sit upon a head of a pin?  And I can't of course, speak for Gordo. 
However, I know he has
trained a lot more hams than any of us. Let us each have our opinions, 
and go on to more specific Ten Tec topics.  Based on the other G. West 
training materials, I think he knows his antenna theory, but like all of 
us do from time to time, may have not stated this precisely enough to 
all ears.
