Now, Leonard -40F and -40C occur at roughly the same point. Have
your
ever participated in amateur radio emergency communications outdoors
when the temp was -40?

I've been outdoors working when the temperature was -30 F.


-40C and -40F are not roughly the same point, they are EXACTLY the same
point.

(Celsius * 9/5) + 32 = Fahrenheit
(-40C * 9/5) + 32 = -40F

Unless any of you can produce licensure or credentials in meteorology
or atmospheric science, I'm going to have to consider your comments
suspect.

Actually that would have to be metrology (the science of measurement) since
temperature is not limited to weather.

Not limited to weather, however, the context -was- weather. I'll
allow you to slide on this one if you can produce licensure or
credentials in "metrology."

Any high school graduate who paid attention during the science
classes knows that -40F = -40C without having to calculate it.

Folks have flunked out of first-year engineering and science classes
for less than that.

...only if those students were PCTA and tried to beat up an NCTA
teacher. :-)

Tsk. I never saw anyone flunked out of ANY engineering classes
due to not knowing the merge-point of the scales. I just cheat now
by punching a few keys on my little HP 32S II...does the scale
conversion automatically. :-)

Then perhaps any ole "radio clerk" might actually know a thing or two
about radio. Theoretically speaking, of course.

I don't doubt that. No one ever flunked out of weather school for
that simple equation.

What do they flunk out of law school for?

Being a**holes and not giving proper respect to those of us who
have graduated from law school.

How about just respecting each other as human beings?

Everyone want's to be elevated above the next person, and it is so
typical of the old guard in amateur radio who were raised on the
inventive licensing tit.

OK: I'll follow your example - on an experimental basis.

Experiment failed.

I'm guessing that it was for the wrong legal briefs they wore? :-)
