LM-14, minus frequency calibration chart:

I'm getting hold of  an LM-14, tomorrow, minus calib. chart.
Read a radio-mag (CQ?) article years back about a way of making your own 
chart -- anyone recall this or have
another solution?  I could of course use a frequency counter to make up some 
kind of bench-mark
key point chart, but ...

BTW
Now I feel somewhat less sheepish about introducing non-radio topics, as I 
occasionally have done on other reflectors. But still do feel sheepish about 
it and think best if radio hobby nets focus on radio. Just an opinion from a 
sputtering little old guy in Copen., who grew up in the wilds of Bklyn.

73,
Henry, OZ1UF-OU5T  / N2NR
