First (and certainly not the last) mea culpa update: I goofed the discussion of the signal strength of an isotropic radiator ("perfect antenna") in class today. The signal strength degrades with the surface area of the sphere (d^2), not the volume - which is why the path loss exponent in free space is 2.
