I've got a lot of great websites and information on the questions I've
posted about Short Wave Radio. Now if I can just remember all the
particulars, I'll be in good shape for the test. Just wanted to say
thanks to everybody who chimed in. I appreciate the help.!!!

Good luck! I hope to run into you on 20 meters sometime.

Well, next testing opportunity is this Friday nite and it's not
looking real good. *Do you knoow what VDC stands for?? and I'm still a
little lost on how to figure out transformer power.

Thanks.

"VDC" is a Three-Letter Abbreviation with multiple meanings
VDC - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDC
Most Likely - Volts of Continuous Current (Direct Current)
* For Modern Soild State Equipment it would be the
DC Power Supply Voltage(s).
* For Old-Time Tube {Valve} Radio Equipment the DC "Plate"
Voltage of the Transmitter or more specifically the Plate Voltage
{Plate Current} of the Output Finals of the Transmitter or RF
Power Amplifier -aka- Linear Amplifier.

I see that I was right.

Brenda, do you know what VHF and Aircraft Refueling Valves means and
where that stuff was invented? Do you know the Memphis Belle movie I am
watching on Radio tb right now?

Usually, Volts Direct Current

Must be one of them new fangled DC Transformers. In MY day, they'd only
transform AC...

Not knowing the reference, one can only surmise that he's studying
transformer power supplies, and computing DC voltage from a rectified AC
source?

something like that - though I was doing a lot better on keeping all
this straight before I really started studying,
