An agreement is an agreement. As long as we are under said agreement I will not say anything, especially here, that will appear to continue said discussion with Tallman. Sorry. Perhaps it will come up another time.

BTW #2 Did you just upgrade recently (like yesterday)?

As a matter of fact, yes I did. I took the extra exam 9/24/2016 and I missed only two out of fifty. I'll bet if I had taken my time I would not have missed those. Needing to go to the bathroom will make me hurry up a bit. And yes I made that in time.(Just barely)

I guess I don't get to tell the story of my first RF burn... Thats no fun...

You tell me about yours and I'll tell you about mine. LOL I have a few stories I could tell about RF burns. Some are mine and some are a co-workers. LOL

Thanks!
I studied over 100 hours for this test. I have OCD when it come to testing, just passing is not good enough. Got to have a high score or there is no joy. I use to hate testing in school, now I like it.

I never saw SWR change with phase angle.
The only change would be impedance if the antenna is less than perfect.

I'm sure to get hammered but, I cut all of my coax in 1/4 wave. Or, in multiples of it depending what I need. Never had a problem.
