IT STARTED LONG AGO.
As Americans, we will always choose the shortest way from point a 2 b. I heard a woman at shoprite ask the cashier if she had an extra plastic paper bag. Oxymorons are cool. Verbal diarrhea is part of being an American. Our forefathers wrote " in order to create a MORE PERFECT union. Missinformation is everywhere. Who and what you choose to believe, sometimes isn't correct.as far as information on this or any site, it all depends on who makes more sence. For me its easy, I go with the least technical and lean towards the people whose advice cuts through the technical and explains it in laymens terms.You guys really do have a sense of humor. Luv it.

I always am at a loss trying to figure out if they mean stacked yagi's or phased arrays (or even both) when people talk about a set of beams.

Not radio related but I hate "one on top of each other" Back to radio ! isn't it actually V.S.W.R Voltage standing wave ratio!
Amps rated at final input power, then people bitching because the amp won't output that kind of power. Or how about amp builders claiming output exceeding final input power.And yes the dreaded bird watts ,as if it's been written by god himself.We had 10 bird meters in the work shop and you guessed it ,10 different watt readings.Had to have them calibrated twice a year!
And I say dB. The Bel is the unit of measure and needs to be capitalized while the prefix deci, meaning one tenth, is lower case.
My rant is on dorks that twist the phonetic alphabet to try and sound cool. To me, the phonetic alphabet is universally standardized for a reason.
