Arrrg!

Just spent hours calculating coax cable propagation delays and transposing that into physical pcb microstrip lengths, and I've just realised the formula in the text book has the incorrect units

Crap, Crap, Crap!

Can't you just put your bike on the front of the bus?

It's not raining here at the moment.

Just have to trim the microstrips to the correct track length and match them to the coax so that the difference between them is less than 10ps.

I got my crab pot loaded with bait and dropped in my golden spot. I'll go check it in 3 days and have a good load of massive blues. Last time I pulled it in, I had one that was over 8 inches tip to tip!

Good talking to you to D, can't wait to see pics of the AR when you get it!

Sure, but I get funny looks from all the other passengers when I wear my motorcycle gear onto the bus.

I missed a chance to get a 120lb alligator snapping turtle a while back. That would put a serious hurt on someone!

DB Terrapins can be pretty aggressive ......but they're relatively small.
