I guess if you could somehow induce a charge onto the signal it could have a polarity.

On a similar note - still gets me when knowledgable folks talk about “polarity” of the signal rather than the correct term “polarization”. Something that was drilled into my brain (along with how to use a slide rule) first year in University.

It’s almost the norm now, so you’d think I’d just get used to it, but if anything it bugs me more as time goes on. Maybe if I’d made the switch to fiber I wouldn’t have to worry about antennas and what they’re called. Probably there are annoyances in the fiber world as well. Like the people who think “fiber optic” is better than “fiber”? Or why is nothing a wire or cable anymore, it’s a “cord”? But not having to hear about “satellites” and “modems” and “boosters” and “bouncing the signal” would be nice. -- AF mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
