As most of you know, i have never claimed to be a licensed broadcast engineer. In fact any electronics knowledge I possess is self taught.

For years I have kicked my self in the butt for not changing courses in vocational school from broadcasting arts to the electronics course offered across the hall. If i had take that course instead, then yes I probably would have gone to college and studied broadcast engineering.

So any post’s I make on this or any other part 15 related forums are based on either real-world experience or hypothetical.

Sometimes the greatest inventions of all time are born from the craziest notions. The Wright Brothers, Henry Ford, Edison, Nicola Tesla etc all these names started off their careers with silly notions.
Where do silly notions come from? Obviously not from a Silly Notions Fairy.

Imagination! That’s where! And humanity has prospered from these imaginations working over time to make life on Earth more interesting.

The reason I post this is I received an email the other day in response to my post on this thread http://part15.us/node/2142

The email was not offensive nor was it an attack on my post, rather it was sent to point out that my theory on the ground plane would not be compliant. The ground wire I mentioned would radiate and the groud plane would not benefit the antenna system.

Again, my post was a theory.
I wrote: But if i was able to do something like KENC has here, i would probably go with a ground plane made up of copper or stainless steel rods…. (probably was the key word) though i guess it was too vague.

Next post i make will have the word “Theory” in the body somewhere.
LOL BTW this email I mentioned was not even from a member of this forum and I have the utmost respect for our members here at part15.us
