Subject: New Slide Rule Sighting
Hello Group,
The November 2006 issue of CQ Amateur Radio Communications &
Technology magazine has a short article (by Kent Britain, WA5VJB) in
the antennas section, page 82, on calculating the length of a dipole
antenna for a given frequency. Photo A is a picture of a Pickett,
N902-ES I think, slide rule. The only reference to the picture in the
article is the ending comment on over accuracy . "… I need to take
away your calculator and whap ya on the knuckles with my pocket slide
rule."
