I think that may very well be the case. I've had occasion to teach ham
radio classes to people who have had little or no math beyond basic
arithmetic. I've taught people who have no technical background or exposure
to electronics or radio. If all you ever had was a general science class,
the ionosphere is a big mystery and so on. There are lots of hams from all
backgrounds and callings. Our club includes members who are truck drivers,
housewives, nurses, waiters, construction workers, etc. as well as
electronic technicians. Maybe you should do as you have said to me: You
need to get out more teasing and tongue in cheek.

I see math as the smallest barrier to a ham ticket. Simple antenna
calculations are about the most complex an amateur needs; these are only
near the equivalent to what one needs to keep up their financial
affairs, double check their utility bills, measure a room for new
carpeting, etc.

Simple LC calculations, again, only use that same level of math, if say
one wishes to design an antenna tuner, balun, filter, etc.

If you could give me something "absolutely specific", an example,
perhaps I could see what is being suggested here ...
