just doing some studying for my license upgrade.
I saved some of the messages from the thread back in january, dealing with 
calculating an RLC circuit using a very simple and effective formula that 
Mike Cozzolino provided.  It does assume that you are dealing with Micro 
henries and Piekoferrads, but that is typically what values are in the 
questions on the exam.
Now, I'm wondering if there is an equally simple, yet effective formula for 
calculating the Q of a resonant circuit, when given the frequency in MHZ, 
and the value of L and R in microhenries and ohms or killohms.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
