Folks, please calm down!
The quality of these leads maybe not so good, but volt-nuts meetings should be appreciated, anyhow.
Especially, if the scope of this comparison is still to be analysed.
A German engineering meeting w/o beer, that's another serious story.. that has to be improved! Illya, what's your favorite booze?
In the company, we recently had our international engineering meeting from our 10 development sites, from 4 different continents (Australia has no Engineering anymore, sorry Dave), and German beer was the most important feature.
I also can add, at the latest volt-nuts meeting @ Andreas and with branadic , I carried my 3458A.
Afterwards, due to the transport, it showed a jump of -0.5ppm. It was not that cold at all, like the latest LTZ comparison last year, of two of my LTZ1000 (unheated), so most probaly, that simply was caused by vibration.
I was able to definitely identify that by comparison to the home-residing references (2x LTZ1000, 1x 5442A)
Anyhow, (cold) transportation and vibration is not yet examined well, inside this thread..
Andreas' approach are heated references, mine are potentially unheated ones, during transport.
Pitiful, we did not do that complete ring-comparison yet.
There are a lot of people here in Germany and EU to organize LTZ1000 and 10k Ohm exchange, but somehow there's no real drive to just do it, by DHL, or personally...
Instead of moaning at each other, maybe we could organize something international, even using quality references, as LTZs and VHPs.
