[TowerTalk] Fwd: Peak Voltage at the tips of ants ?

[Edward McCann]

Yo!

Given that Jim’s backyard was in peril during the last fire, forcing his evacuation, I echo his heartfelt suggestion to watch where the end of the wire ends up. 

On the other hand, TowerTalk is a forum for all, from the brilliant to the dimmer bulbs that some of our fellows regretfully diss from time to time.

For Chrissakes, if someone wants an intellectual exercise, it certainly does no harm.

Look at other sites where self-appointed experts who have literally forgotten ohms law and the modify and defend a new relationship between the speed of light to wavelength, claim at the same time they have no interest in knowledge for knowledge’s sake, and then offer the touchstone or their version of the Kool-Aid for one to consume at their peril. 

The TowerTalk site  is blessed with hams of experience and diverse backgrounds, and is the better for it.
