[SOC] Question on Extra Exam

[Merlin Williams]

Tom,

First of all you should know better, than to ask any thing of meaning 
and importance at this location.

Are you asking about the Smith Chart, which requires a degree in 
electrical engineering to really understand, or the other two connect 
the dot charts, which you should have learned how to do by the end of 
the first grade?

The charts were not there when I took the extra examine, although I had 
to know CW.

My latest ARRL Handbook, 1960 Edition, do not help.
