Wes said: >Back in the old days it taught us how to think (which was the hard part) and how to use our slide rules and use our heads to move the decimal point a lot.< That was we learnt in the radio course, not the applied mechanics!!!!! Some of us still use a slide rule on occasion - they work when the batteries have run out in the calculator. Or log tables if greater resolution is required. 73 Peter G3RZP _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
