Vickroy Park Mystery Cache
agouracharger: This cache has been turned up missing too many times.
I have archived it and replaced it with a new cache at a different location. Hopefully that will stop the problem.

The coordinates list above are NOT the real coordinates.
To find this cache you will need to learn some electronics and do a little math. I suggest that you use a good calculator with a reciprocal function (1/x) to work the one equation.
Vickroy Park was a gift to the City of Burbank in 1924 by Hugh K. Vickroy. As a kid this was my local park and playground. The park has an unusual diamond shape.
To find the correct coordinates you will need to use two electronics formulas.
Electronics uses a lot of unusual words and letter abbreviations.
f = frequency in Hertz (Hz)
L = inductance in Henries (H)
Xl = inductive reactance (Xl is read as X sub L)
C = capacitance in Farads
Xc = Capacitive reactance (Xc is read as X sub C)
u = the prefix micro
1. In order to get the last part of the North coordinate you will need to find the numeric value for capacitive reactance.
Given: f = 2,117.3 Hz and L = 840 uH (.00084H)
Use the formula Xl = (2*Pi*f*L)
Your North coordinate is N 34 + Xl
2. In order to get the last part of the West coordinate you will need to find the numeric value for inducitive reactance.
Given f = 78,817 Hz and C = .1uF (.0000001F)
Use the formula Xc = 1/(2*Pi*f*C)
Your West coordinate is W 118 + Xc
Your final destination is at N 34 + Xl W 118 + Xc
Happy geocaching!
