Hi Dave,

I have never seen a copy of any of Rohn's calculations either.  If we could
just get a good example of exactly how the calculations are done, this would
be a great start on writing a program to do it.  Of course, if we are ever
successful at this, how will Rohn ever be able to charge $5000 (plus $300 an
hour) to make these calculations again?  I wouldn't expect much cooperation
from Rohn on this project . . . :-)
