[TenTec] Come On Guys

[Tim]

Hi,

I will contribute something for fun as well.

In 1976 I got my ham license and bought an Argonaut 509. I had just 
finished getting my first class radiotelephone license and the radio 
station I worked at required us to give the temperature in Celsius and 
Fahrenheit. So I learned a few temps because we used them a lot living 
on the Central coast of California. I didn't like Celsius.

Now I live in Minnesota and when the temperature gets below zero 
Fahrenheit the number is just pretty much meaningless. It's just cold. 
Now I appreciate Celsius because -23c makes  sense since we know that it 
is 23 degrees below freezing.

So now when I cut a dipole for 20 meters I just keep it in metric and 
cut a bit more than 10 meters.
