PMEL Forum

Hoopty, thanks so much for all the time, effort and money you have put in on the Forum.
I hate to see it go, but the usage is pitiful unfortunately.
Keep your gage blocks oiled and your connectors clean.
Thanks again.

Yes, when I first started this was a pretty busy site. But it started dropping off and after the web site changed it dropped off rapidly. I'm sure the new guard of PMEL excellence are using other social media applications to continue communicating.

Unfortunately, with so little participation, its understandable. Will be sorry to see it go. Thanks a lot for for maintaining it for so long!

Well folks, it's been a long road and lately I've been feeling it's time to shut her down.

Hey, all. PCI is still looking for a metrologist for our ISO accredited lab in Raleigh. We just had one person walk out unexpectedly, so the need is immediate. Our scope is available at www.pci-llc.com. We're a small lab so you won't be stuck doing the same equipment over and over. Also, Raleigh is a great place to live and work. Contact me if you are interested and we can go over the details.

Is there a difference? Do they use different T.O.'s? I imagine they use the same tech orders and equipment as before and most likely service the same equipment with maybe a few differences namely frequency range... I imagine Space force may go up to the 67 GHz range as opposed to the standard 18/26.5/40/50 GHz most other places use.
