(The original port would key PTT fine. Very strange.)
The formula is ...
1) Tell them what youβre going to tell them 
2) Tell them
3) Tell them what you told them (the takeaways/actions)
Easy
It was a great movie β¦ and the last one that I saw in a theater.

There are LotW instructions in PortuguΓͺs.
Todayβs verification of QSOs from 2023 has to be at least the fifth or sixth time the same station has reloaded its logs.
Not complaining, just saying. π With a happy heart.

I found some MOSFETs for a 15 year-old transmitter that way.

PT Barnum was absolutely right.
I hope youβre able to find a replacement display chip. 
Getting older parts has become a real chore (borderline impossible).
Exactly.

It took quite a while to complete, but Iβm happy to have that mode in the log.
The station on the other end had a MUCH better setup than I (4 X 8 with elevation). He likely had power.
The same goes for Marshall Island. Find them in the right place and itβs easy.

Yep. High ground is best for VHF+ unless youβre operating satellites.

I used to bicycle to the island when the road from N Layton was gravel. That was a few years ago.
Have fun out there.
Truly. Replacing a badly scratched screen isnβt for the timid, either. (Though it isnβt all that hard.)

1) Do these circuit breakers get warm even without much load?
2) Does a switching power supply (25A 12VDC) cause an outlet to trigger more often?
It happens that way sometimes. No problem.
