Afternoon all. Just spent a couple weeks in Florida. Had a grand time playing with my Nox-800. Also brought along Clynick's book to train the brain.
Came across quite a few things he mentions apparently with the assumption that "everyone knows" what he means. Well, for this beginner I can only begin to imagine what he's referring to.
Anyhow, was hoping y'all could enlighten me on some of them.
Right off the bat he constantly refers to "extension" in a tone as a sign that it is a good target. Not sure exactly what he means by that.
For example I can get a nice, clean, extended tone over a soda can but that seems more related to target size as opposed to quality. A low conductor foil also frequently ramps up smoothly, remains clean and fades smoothly. Both have what I understand as "extension" but neither is a quality target.
Conversely many a 25-cent piece or small jewlery tend to give solid, but clipped tones or scratchy tones.
So, what am I missing from his use of the word "extension"?
In a similar way he says that tone and pinpoint can give a fairly good indication of target size with proper coil control. On the surface that makes sense but he doesn't explain what to listen for in any detail much less how to use coil control to suss it out.
Again, I could really use come clarification on that.
Thanks!
