I can honestly say I've never used a Smith Chart in anger in the whole
of my life.
Never had one in my possession for more than a minute just to inspect
it. Or by chance came across a condensed version in a book.
And I've worked on and with transmission lines from 0.1 Hz to 3000
MHz. At frequencies at which the Smith Chart is misleading and
useless.
I just didn't attend the same school as you lot.
It's habit forming like alcohol, tobacco and women. You can't think
straight without one in front of you. ;o)
But I do appreciate the love and respect you all have for it.
