This to a hot subject one that generates a lot of interest on the Web for a few people, because it is so technical. No one else knows what they are talking about.
Consult the Wikipedia entry for BCH to see what I mean.
I am taking a course from block geeks, with the same objective; trying to understand what is going on.
I am reminded of when I worked at a gold-mining camp in Nome, Alaska when I was going to Engineering School at the U of Illinois.
This had been a Soviet airport during WWII. The US was manufacturing airplanes in Southern California and Arizona, in huge numbers, Some of them were sent to the USSR and used to destroy Nazi Tanks. Russian lettering was still over the doors.
Joseph Stalin was responsible for more deaths than anyone in history. Hitler was responsible for 2 million deaths, mostly Jews. Stalin was responsible for 200 million, mostly his own people! But he was an American ally during the War.
A special Airforce was formed of women pilots to ferry the planes from Arizona to Nome over some of the worst flying terrains in the world! If you have ever done any flying yourself, you knew the weather was your worst enemy.
Many of those planes (and their pilots) did not make it.
