[TowerTalk] Coax as Balanced Line--Mea Culpa

[Jim Reid]

Aloha,

Well,  with apologies to Oscar Hammerstein, 2nd.

"When I was a  boy,  what waw what was what,
What was so was so.

But now I am a man,  and some things are nearly so,
and some are nearly not!"

And what I read in the Antenna Book,  well, maybe nearly not.

Thanks to Pete and John for making us more physics types better
informed!

I grew up in the physics and math departments of my university(Stanford):
Lamb,  Shiff and Bloch were very busy guessing solutions to
the Shroedinger equation,  and winning Nobel prizes at the time,(some
decades ago!)
so my transmission line education perhaps was lacking!!  And I
was more interested in solid state behavior at the time.

I no longer will assume that one can realize less loss using
parallel coax lines rather than hard line!

73 and good propagation,  whenever it returns!

Jim,  KH7M
