Thankfully the foundation exam is multiple choice, but it is important to recognise the following terms:-
- Pointy signal-spikey bit
- Long wire dangly-doo
- Metal pokey-poke
- Linear wave catch-a-me-bob
- Bendy frequency rubber-stub
- Wire stretchy-poo
- Scoping prong-a-me-jig

Very interesting show as always. I love your podcasts (I'm new to HPR (just found it a few weeks ago) and you've been one I know I can always go to for an interesting show).

Is 'uppy downy thing' the technical term in the test for an aerial? ;)
