Don, I absolutely love your tongue-in-cheek (well, I do understand)
response! I really do!!!
Some of us had to suffer through learning calculus and then applying it to
electromagnetic theory and antennas and transmission lines. My references
now are graduate level. Yes, we suffered, but at this end of life, I'm
glad I *once* (stress: ONCE) did.
You are to be commended in your response which reflects the audience to
which I attempted to target. If I can't pass along some of the knowledge I
gained in formal education followed by decades of seat-of-the-pants
learning during my career applying what I learned while suffering, I'm
ready for the pine box.
Thank you for your reply!!!!!! You should take up satirical writing.

As a non-engineer (of any type) like other nano-users, the simple mission
was to wind some coax or wire around a ferrite donut installed on our OCFD
and stop the nasty, dreaded, feared, sneaky and often discussed common mode
current from creating shack mayhem.

The intended process? Copy the designs of others and validate with our
nanos.

The actual process: sink into a putrid pit of RF theory, irreconcilable
contradictions, arcania, mystery with misery, and a odd desire to plunge an
ice pick in our eye because it would feel better than trying to understand
how to (a) build a CMC and (b) measure our newly minted CM choke
effectiveness over the lowly average ham bands (say 80-10m) with our
beloved nanos.

I, and others, read and study Dave's (W0LEV)'s work like Orthodox study
the Talmud - every letter, every grouping of words, even the space between
words, has intense meaning to the lost, abandoned and hopeless neophytes.

All this is to say thank you Dave, and others. Your work is light to
sheep lost in inky blackness.

My favorite professor would say at the end of every lecture to a class
clearly dazed, befuddled and confused: ..."okay, clear as mud?" Followed by
"Good, see you next week!"
