[Elecraft] RPN Calc App For Android

[Byron Servies]

When the Oughtred Society first published their slide rule reference
in 2005 I remember you could get it in a bundle with a copy of the
journal and a Nestler Polymath Duplex 6". Around the same time I
purchased a K&E 4181-3 Log Log Duplex Decitrig.

Unfortunately my alma mater stopped having "slide rule calculation" as
a stage in the alumni vs current student race that year so my
incentive to learn went away.  Still here, though, waiting for an
appropriately lazy weekend to learn how to add.
