Hi Jerry,
What areas of the forum Wiki do you think are very good?
What part(s) of the forum wiki's material don't you feel is up to par?
Only a handful of members have contributed and/or edited the wiki out of a membership of close to 7000 yet ANY member can add content or upload documents to the files area.?
When I ask those members that have issues with the content to feel free to add their own notes, I see nothing (for the most part) and no one has approached me to help them with adding content (I can't speak for Oristo, Herb or the other wiki contributors).?
Comments?

RF is a bit foreign at times, but I'd guess I'm better off than the typical user.
Some of the material in the wiki is excellent.
Much of it is not.
Some of it is simply way over the top technically for most users.
Telling somebody who can't figure out their nanoVNA to just check the wiki
without further guidance is likely leave them feeling stupid and inadequate.

You might include a snippet of what you are responding to.
I have no idea what article that might be.
I would be skeptical of any unknown person or persons being allowed to
change the information in the groups WIKI, without the review of such info
by the group Admin.
I believe the wiki is open to all forum members.
The admin likely has no interest in policing the wiki.
Just the view of a newbie, that has found the information presented by this
group, to be educational and helpful in understanding and using the NanoVNA.
Glad to hear it's working for you.

I do not know who this guy is, not even sure he is a licensed ham, but as a
newbie to VNAs myself, I found the Wiki does have a overwhelming amount of
info. However, if one takes it step by step, I see absolutely no problem
with it.
There are several ebooks on Amazon that clearly explains, that if one can
read, the NanoVNAs from a compleat explanation of VNAs to full engineering
aspects and use.
In fact the VNA guide on Wiki also fits that bill.
If one is overwhelmed by what is presented in the group WIKI, then they
need to learn how to reasurch a topic one step at a time.
