Western Australia did this in 1933 and it passed with 66% of the vote against a turnout of 91.6%. It was never ratified.

@BrucePerens_K6BP @AJ9BM @KA7O you can calibrate the NanoVNA and include the port saver in the calibration.

@KA7O @BrucePerens_K6BP

Interesting that you raise the cycle count for an SMA connector. 500 cycles in my radio shack is likely going to exceed my lifetime.

@AJ9BM @KA7O @BrucePerens_K6BP so far the closest I've come to that is using a short SMA patch lead on the NanoVNA. Any recommendations for an SMA port saver?

@BrucePerens_K6BP we did. Politicians decided that his contribution to the conversation was political, not science and acted accordingly.

@BrucePerens_K6BP I've just reviewed this and emailed you a patch with some suggested updates and fixes.

@g4dbn what software are you using to create models and what are you using for generating tool paths and gcode?

@g4dbn par for the course.

I ordered from the USA into Western Australia. It travelled from Minnesota to Sydney in 24 hours and from Sydney to Perth in 24 days.

@roadriverrail I don't have my logs at hand, but Houston, Cuba, Sweden and Ukraine come to mind.

@roadriverrail whoa, high power :)

My radio lives on 5 Watts, ever since I was told, over a decade ago, that my licence was a joke because it only permits 10 Watts. From Western Australia I've spoken to stations all over the globe, most of them whilst I was operating portable with either a vertical or a dipole.

My WSPR experiments are about attempting to discover more about propagation and the various fairytales we've been taught.

I'd encourage you to see where less than 100 Watts gets you!
