Topband: Laird ferrites

[W2PM]

I agree there are few people who have contributed more to ham radio as ON4UN and challenge anyone to show me an engineering text or any academic text with no errors or omissions.  And I personally found the various editions of the Low Band series to be far more useful, educational and well written as any by ARRL and I'm a fan of them. 

If you look at the venerable Bill Orr - and was as admirer of his and his work - there was nearly as much anecdote and obscurity in his texts as science and fact.  Moxon book is very detailed debut obscure and difficult to read. 

No perfection in life.  Thankfully.
