Keith,

You mean like my satellite dish or the Yagi Uda we used to watch TV with?

I just love TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms). Created by professionals, who don't know what they're talking about, to obscure that fact from everybody else.

That's right Chris. Indeed most people use a Yagi, or a derivative there of, for terrestrial tv reception. ;)

Aawww, look at that, we did not even started the A and B certs, and we already learning lots of stuff! :)

Talking about acronyms, when working in IBM, there was a dictionary for them! They were must use to gain time in technical discussions :)

johnfireball:
Whaaat!  Does the yagi fly well?

Happy Days:
Depends on weather conditions John, but you can work it out with the following formula :-
 BW = Δf = fh-fl = 355-291 = 64 fl = fc - Δf/2 = 323-32 = 291 fh = fc + Δf/2 = 323+32 = 355
Where BW = Beaufort Wind speed, f = flight, h =  time in hours, and c = the probability of crashing! ;D

A book of acronyms :o!!! Too scary for me ::)
