[SOC] New method of measurements

[Jan Clute]

Jim - You have far too much time on your hands! Thanks. Keep them coming
(scary that you are as close as Missouri, though!). Major thaw in Iowa. We
can see the ground and the roads are finally drying out. Spring may be
coming early.

By the way, if you have a rig without a finger depression, K8FF
FingerDimples (got one for my TS140S) for $3.50 (think they come in black or
gray) are WONDERFUL. I was spinning the dial during my lightweight playing
around in ARRL DX CW with my new dimple (is there a real word for these
things?) and just loved it. You get two. I'm tempted to put one opposite the
other one. They are plastic with an adhesive backing and deep enough to get
your finger into and spin like mad. Neat idea. 73 Jan N0AAA SOC-#*(
