More on Glossary of Wireless Terms

[Drew, Bill]

I have a list of terms that I will start to define.  The list is below this
message. Is anyone willing to help me with this project?  I would make this
a resource available to all that want to use it without any copyright
restrictions beyond crediting the source. The only criteria are: 

1. short and sweet (one to two sentences, less than 50 words.)
2. as non-technical language as practical
3. must be your work.

I will be the sole arbiter of which ones are included.  I will combine
definitions if it creates a better one.  All contributors will be listed on
the website.  Thanks for your help.
