Originally I got interested in radios when I learned to deploy wifi for industrial applications. The big thing with industrial applications is interference and reflection. You typically have a lot of large structures made of metal or other materials that block the waves. Also, there’s a bunch or rotating equipment that emits emf as well (interferers). This can make antenna placement critical. I wish I had gotten into it earlier, but I was discourage by a university professor who basically told my senior design groups that radios were too finicky for us to tackle. Now I participate in amateur radio and I suggest anyone who finds the topics interesting to do the same.
