[Boatanchors] WANTED: 274 Ohm Resistor

[Rick Poole WA1RKT]

One thing to consider... if you need a precision 274-ohm resistor that probably also means you need it to be stable over temperature.  5% and 10% resistors, even if you find one that measures at 274 ohms, are unlikely to maintain that value very closely over a wide temperature range.
