    I will be writing a review of air band haldhelds. The intended use may affect what characteristics are important in a transceiver. I would like to read of unusual uses for handheld transceivers. For example, one pilot uses his exclusively for taxiing across unknown ground. He gives the...

    finger pulse oximeter

    I've had one for about a year now. I keep it in my pants pocket. During that time I've detected irregular rthyms in several people, including one teenager. It seems that women tend to have higher rates than men. My cardio says it isn't so. I was rather surprised to see a rate of 130-150 in...

    Special Issuance-Coronary

    If it takes a year to get anything done with OKC it's a wonder anyone with experience is left to fly the airliners. A retired airline captain told me the pilots had two doctors - one for the regular stuff and one they paid in cash for things that might be of interest to the FAA. It seems only...
