As a former 18E myself, I never really felt overwhelmed with material at the Q with the exception of Radio wave propogation and antenna theory. Mr. Barrett has forgotten more about that art than I will every know, yet he was convinced he could cram all of that knowledge into our heads in a one or two week time period... painful. I've wondered what it was like back in the day when there was no powerpoint or even overhead projectors. Seems like there would be a lot less "filler" material populating the poi and more down to earth classes that would take less time. Some of you "seasoned" guys could probably pipe in on that one.
