Do you promise not to tell?

by: Arthur Eisenkraft

Can you keep a secret? Is it possible to send a signal out so that one person will receive the signal but another will not? The scenario presented in this chapter is a young radio amateur who maintains a link with two friends living in two towns. Two antennas are positioned such that when one friend, living in town A, receives a maximum signal, the other friend, living in town B, receives no signal, and vice versa. The two antennas transmit with equal intensities uniformly in all directions in the horizontal plane.
