first lesson.

here= the place you come to talk about radios.
wait, this isnt what you meant was it. :blushing:

Exactly...forget velocity factor, and the fact that a 1/4 wave vertical sholdn't have a 52 ohm feed point impedance anyways, BUT as long as the SWRS are OK I guess...
Or when people take a dipole, and lower the ends closer to the ground to bring the impedance down. Makes the SWR meter happy, but ground losses... plus it messes with the radiation pattern.
But specifically I am talking about the typical "I gotta be loud" stuff that goes on.

Ok. since we are on a rant adventure, the above is two words I can not stand.
Birds are a flying animal. They have no watts.
Pill, you take them when you have a head ache.
I'm just saying....
See the first part of post #9 in this thread. Some people want to learn, some people will learn, some people do not care to learn and never will and others are completely oblivious to facts and simply let myth and conjecture stand in for facts and truth. I got tired of trying to figure out who was who and decided to let them do whatever they wanted to do with whatever I presented. If someone actually wants to learn I will teach. If someone wants to repeat false info as if it were fact immediately after I attempt to teach them something then I move on. I have had to many concussions over the years from beating my head against the wall with lost causes.
HAHAHA! I love it. I honestly thought I wouldn't get this many replies. Keep it going, it would almost be fun now to have everyone state their most favorite misrepresentations, terms, myths, etc.
Haven't you heard the bird is the word lol. A watt is a watt is a watt. Doesn't matter by what this measurement is taken with, a watt is just a watt. And I take pills for anxiety, wonder how may of those it takes to get 1000 bird watts, I could probably take 2 and tell you about some bird watts lol.
I used to think my radio was badass b/c I could talk to my friend via his TV.
Also glad I found this site b/c I've learned a lot.

There is a moderator on another forum who claims he achieved a 1 S-Unit gain going from 8x to LMR400 ........ In a mobile install!
"Lazy typer"? It takes one more keystroke to type SWRs rather than just SWR. All that energy just to sound smartless!
("Smartless" has replaced "stupid", according to the comic strip "Pearls Before Swine" of 3-30-14.)
