And one more... particularily useful for getting a quick and dirty estimate. It turns out that 61 F = 16 C and 82 F = 28 C.

Both scales coincide at -40 degrees, so simply add 40 degrees to the temperature to start with, then multiply by 5/9 or 9/5 depending on whether you are converting to a smaller (F to C) value or a larger (C to F) value. After doing the multiplication, subtract 40 degrees and you are done. 73, Don W3FPR KJ3D wrote: > For the benefit of those of us who struggle with remembering the two > conversion formula for degrees F to degrees C (or vice versa) here is a neat > little algebra expression I teach: > > 5F - 9C = 160 > > Substitute and solve for the remaining unknown. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
