How did you find PF?
Google search for a manual brought me to a 10 year old post here.
I am a retired Electrical Engineer and patent portfolio manager for a large communication equipment company. I am also an "Extra class" Amateur Radio licensee and an avid disc golfer. Of those last two, the latter requires more knowledge of advanced physics! :-) One of my favorite quotes is from a Peter Cook / Dudley Moore comedy bit.

"The trouble is. All this knowledge I've got hold of is useless."

I feel that way so often.
Yet, I'm happy to share what little I've got!

Hello and :welcome: !

Have fun and stay curious!
 
Hi everyone, I'm just a physics enthusiast. I took some first-year courses a long time ago, but I wasn't able to continue, so I don't have a degree. Still, I'm really passionate about the subject and try to keep up with it as much as I can. I mostly study in my (limited) free time, going through books I didn’t get the chance to read when I was younger. Thanks for your attention!
