He may mean it in the sense of using a sliderule--why if you have a
program, programmable calculator to give results?

Warmest regards,
John

I've added a Smith Chart graphic to my All-HF-Band-No-Tuner-Antenna

Its a purty chart, too.
I've got nothing but respect for folks that have the patience to sit
down
and figure out how to use one of those.

It surprises me to read that you consider the Smith Chart difficult
to use. I'd bet that you could figure out how to use one to your
benefit within 20 minutes of asking questions of someone who uses
them.
