bull**** Maxwell equations are the true basis of Radio

Ignoring the profanity [when profanity surfaces in a discussion it is evidence
that you are losing the argument], Maxwell's Equations are first of all NOT
Maxwell's equations. They are Heaviside's Equations [go do a rigorous check].

Secondly, the equations describe physics, not operating practice.

Thirdly, the equations and their understanding are not requirements for a
license. Most hams cannot perform the vector calculus or solve the second order
differential equations necessary to solve those equations [Many professional
broadcast engineers probably can't solve them either]. After 40+ years from my
EE degree I know I can't solve them without some refresher math courses.

Finally, increasing one's personal skills in the radio communications art and
technique for personal improvement, not $ gain, is the requirement for a ham
license, at least here in the USA.

Increasing personal skills ... does not mean becoming an appliance operator.
