RFCALC78 - The changes.

* Update this hotch potch of notes !

* There were a couple of labelling errors in the OHMS LAWS section - now 
corrected at last.

* Added spark gap distances (good for capacitors and lightning protection)
using Paschen's Law

* Added E and F layer angle of radiation versus distance per hop

* Added voltage breakdown in coax data (useful when making coaxial 
capacitors)

* Added RG174 data to coax data

[PDA USERS]
I have successfully used these spreadsheets on the folowing devices:

Psion Revo
Nokia Communicator 9210i

The Revo does not support multiple workbooks in a single file so you are
advised to copy the Excel version 4 sheets to your Psion.

The Communicator can use multiple sheets in one file and it's best to copy
Excel 97 files instead to your Communicator.


The files in this package are:

RFCALC78.WK4 (Lotus 123) PC
RFCALC78.XLS (Excel 97 PC format) 
RFCALC?.xls (Excel 4 - good for Win31 users - total 5 sheets in this 
format) and recommended for Psion Revo users.

There is now no longer any requirement to supply seperate versions for the

aformentioned PDA's because I've now used a more generic method of cell
formulae so that the PsiWin or Nokia Data Suite wont moan about PC
specific
commands when copying/translating files from PC to PDA device.
