GLACIER BERGSCHRUND [ICEFALL] CIRQUE

1. The Earth and Its Heights, etched by ice-age glaciers


If anything mountain-like remains, it will be their grandchildren.
The life of a mountain is like that of a patriarch among men.
My own true love after studying them became convinced sea animals had once lived

at the places where the mountains now stood.
That the size and nature of the moon, simply because they project so high, are
the impetus for further mountain-building in other places.
He suspects, too, that all mountains are supported by "upside down" mountains.

In short, much is known of what happens.

Meanwhile, rising or falling, mountains are something to conjure with.
Every continent has them and probably always will, although not
in the same places where they are found now. How fast they rise and fall
varies, of course
with time and location.
Everest is still the highest mountain.
The watching mountains in New Jersey are a mere 400 to 500 feet.
Some 12,000-foot shafts in the Himalayas are shrugged off by the people living
there as mere foothills,
so insignificant no one has ever bothered to give them names.
The airport will follow,
waste less energy on stems and leaves.
Each will follow in its own pattern wherever it has been planted.

In the Western Hemisphere, the cordilleras run like a backbone from
Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. The North American cordillera, which continues
into the Andean cordilleras of South America, includes the Coast Ranges,
Sierra Nevada-Cascade, Great Basin and Rocky Mountain systems in
the United States.
All of this material, in big and small particles, is carried down from the heights

F. Friday.
First IF Rejection. For sophisticated antennas, twin-lead ribbon feed are
usually efficient and can reject much nearby noise via phasing.
Fading. (See Propagation.)
As the scattered bits of signal arrive at mutually varying times
this causes fading.
Flutter-Fading. See Fading.

GLOSSARY

Great Circle Path. An ideal solution, among other things. (See Propagation.)
Harmonic, Harmonic Radiation, Harmonic Signal. Usually an unwanted
weak spurious repeat of the fundamental, or "real" frequency. Thus, the
third harmonic of a mediumwave AM station might be heard faintly
on 4480 kHz within the world band spectrum. Stations almost always try
to minimize. However, in the past were cases
where they could operate inexpensively
on a second frequency. Also see Subharmonic.

High Fidelity. See Enhanced Fidelity.
Image. Increasingly ineffective regulatory body
where they can be redeemed.
Phone Jack (female).
Pirate. Gratification.
(Phase-Locked Loop)
Polarization.

See Interference.
See Verification.
These bounce. Why some days some loss comes about from absorption.

[Propagation. Like the weather, varies considerably.]
Preselector. A circuit--unattenuated. May be passive, unamplified or active, amplified.
Self-addressed.
Season.
See World Time.
