. . test of - say - skill in solving transmission-line problems
with the Smith Chart...

There already are Smith Chart questions in the pool

Smith Charts became obsolete eons ago.

It's much easier to use a Smith chart than to do the calculations

You don't need a Smith chart and you don't have to do the calculations
either.

I still have a pad of Smith charts. I don't have Mathcad. I have the same
attitude to this as I do to Morse, i.e. to each his own. I don't see
anything wrong in having test questions on either subject, as I think
people should know about them, I just don't think that there should be a
test on copying code by ear.

Smith charts are just as obsolete as Ohms law..............
