Hi Ron,
Yep, send it this way!
Love to read it, and learn a bit, nothing wrong with learning stuff.
Trippy, ac8s

  Subject: All About SWR and What It Really Means


  To all of my new ham friends here on the list...

  I attempted to send to the list a very thorough explanation of SWR, what it
  is, and how it affects your rig and the power getting to your antenna.
  However, my post was too long for this list and was rejected.  Therefore,
  if anyone wants me to send you a copy of the article directly to you as an
  attachment, post back and let me know.  It is an excellent article.  There
  is some math in the article, which you can simply skip over if you want,
  but this article will give you the real truth about SWR, feedlines,
  matching your antenna, and the power that gets from the output of your rig
  to the antenna and radiated. The article is in two parts; Part 1 is titled
  "The Reflection Section," and gets pretty complex; Part 2 is titled:
  "Antenna SWR" and is a little shorter and frankly, les complicated and
  easier to read and comprehend, but to fully understand these issues, you
  really need to read both parts.  Given the exchanges I have read on the
  list since becoming a member, I thought this might be of interest to some
  of you.  So, if you want me to share it with you, let me know.  --  Ron, AC4HM
