Radio waves are a little more predictable than sound waves!

Only in air. Running along wire, they are subject to the same velocity factors related to variations that sounds waves face in air.

And, yes, RF lives in the same frequency domain as sound does, so the math will be the same or similar. Instead of pressure fronts, you get magnetic flux fronts, but the Maxwell equations would probably still work.

Tuning electronics is about as finicky as tuning tubas, and finding the resonance likewise.

Just to make sure the significance isn't lost: that quote came from an engineer. :shock:

In my case, "rather daunting" means my brain just leaked out of my ear and pooled on the floor. :|

I am convinced that 90% of the problems with rhythm, tone, intonation, articulation, technique, and overall prowess on the horn are related to air issues.

It is the obligation of TubeNetters to take the worries out of the minds of fellow TubeNetters. If possible, that is.

The leak may have happened through your ear, but is still is more likely it was your bladder leaking. Your main worry should be about how a faulty analysis of the pool contents could at all be allowed to confuse you.

Yup, the libertarians demanded a cosmetologist’s make-over, when I joined.

Excuses, excuses. Didn't one those penguins have a laptop? And I know those seals carry Cat5 ethernet connections.
