[Elecraft] Radio Displays

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Rotating the polarized sunglasses 90% makes them ineffective in suppressing
brilliant reflections and glare. I have never investigated how natural
sunlight gets polarized, but good quality polarized sunglasses have their
lens polarity set to be 90 degrees off and so block that glare. 

Discovered that by taking my old "Polaroid" sunglass off and rotating them
while sitting in stopped rush-hour traffic one hot summer day :-)

What happens if you take off your polarized sunglasses and turn them 90
degrees with respect to the display?

Since the LCDs work by polarizing light, the designers are stuck.  I found
that I either had to ditch the polarized lenses when flying or do without my
GPS and other LCD readouts.
