The Arab Oil Embargo was a diplomatic and economic move by a group of Arab
oil-producing countries in 1973. The embargo was primarily in response to the
support that certain Western countries, particularly the United States, provided
to Israel during the Yom Kippur War (October 1973).
The participating Arab nations, including members of the Organization of Arab
Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC), implemented an oil embargo against the
United States, Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. They also
reduced oil production and imposed price increases. The goal was to put pressure
on these countries to change their policies regarding Israel.
The embargo had significant economic implications, leading to a global energy
crisis and causing oil prices to soar. It highlighted the vulnerability of
countries heavily dependent on oil imports and underscored the geopolitical
influence of oil-producing nations.
The embargo eventually ended in 1974, but its effects had a lasting impact on
global energy policies and relations between oil-producing and oil-consuming
nations.

 While working on an
update to my
RF Cafe Espresso Engineering Workbook project to add a couple calculators
about FM sidebands (available soon). The good news is that AI provided excellent
VBA code to generate a set of
Bessel function plots. The bad news is when I asked for a
table
showing at which modulation indices sidebands 0 (carrier) through 5 vanish,
none of the agents got it right. Some were really bad. The AI agents typically
explain their reason and method correctly, then go on to produces bad results.
Even after pointing out errors, subsequent results are still wrong. I do a
lot of AI work and see this often, even with subscribing to professional
versions. I ultimately generated the table myself. There is going to be a
lot of inaccurate information out there based on unverified AI queries, so
beware.
