I have also read reviews where us common-folk have had difficulty
assembling. I will admit to occasionally being in that group but can
sometimes blame on ‘cartoon instructions’: drawings instead of written
words. ...It would be funny-ha-ha if my reception problems were do to
improper antenna assembly! (I have done some testing which by-passed or
or would other wise verify is correct.)
In the theoretical world there is no signal deterioration; in the real
world all sorts of signal loss. I was reminded of and learned a lot more
about it when researching on-line not so much why I was having reception
problems but how to correct or at least work-around.
I tend to agree with your statement of “it’s not half the country is
stupid but lacking education”. I’ll admit to barely having a clue as to
what’s going on under the hood of my car but I do know basic
electricity/electronics. I do call on someone else to diagnose and
repair my car.
