I been looking at the extra class test, I can homebrew a station and
an antenna, but cant pass that test, lots of stuff about modes I never
heard of, digital stuff, satellite stuff, vhf stuff, etc.
YUK!
That was always a point of contention of mine...
Why would I *CARE* what the % of blanking is of black on a video screen
on ATV, or SSTV?
and, Rules about TV via ham radio confuse me... if Video (ATV) is only
on UHF (and above) why do you have to be an Extra to operate ATV, when
the band is open to Technicians and up?
I memorized those parts of the test/question pool long enough to pass,
and to hell with the why's...
I learned about j+/- stuff. Don't remember it, but I remember I studied
that part of it, for a month, trying to understand more of the 'why' in
figuring antenna calculations.
