Cell phones do have a lot of use for radio amateurs. I have Locator (shows
distance and bearing between two 6-character grid squares), HamGPS, and
when I go out on microwave hilltopping expeditions I am always getting
phone calls and texts from others who want to work me. I also have an
APRSdroid app that displays my and others' locations on a map via APRS.
There are probably some others I can put on there.

Absolutely not. We bought the smart phone for camping and traveling. We
do not have cell service here at home - thank heaven. If I ever use it for
ham radio, it's time to have my head examined. If it could run SmiSmith
and 4NEC2, I might change my mind, but it does not.

As a ham radio operator isn¡¯t this the main reason why you bought a smart

?Great magnifier! Make counting turns easy when winding very small
toroids. Scan the toroid at 200 to 400 dpi. Blow the scanned image up on
your monitor. Then easily count the turns. The attached image is a FT37-2
with 28 turns of 30 gauge wire and 4 turns of 27 gauge wire. This trick
works to inspect any small flater object.
