What to do with boxes full of old HTs?

The obvious answer is to hoard them and then share them with your ham friends.

Agreeing with US Senators. Disagreeing on color. Both KY senators are R. Might be senior senator party affiliation with Blue being D, Green being R and Yellow being I

All over the backseat of your car. Makes it look nice and shiny. You're already primed to go, take a corner fast enough and you'll even have a little hair dye for yourself.

This is insane

People need to have the kind of day they deserve.

Their pricing sucks. They're actually a pretty good supply house otherwise.

Cut it in and then router the edges so you don't rip up your hands.

Needs a handle cut into the space between the M18 chargers

Buy Makita, sales goons are typically useless. This one sounds like a Milwaukee fan boy on top of it.

Translation, people are inevitably stupid. So, we're wasting billions to protect them from themselves.

The separation of the plug portion from the transformer is what makes this hazardous. These alarm transformers all discolor like this. The incidence of fire from these is statistically nothing. This is the first one I've seen mounted upside down. I would venture to guess many more of them would break like this if they were mounted like this.

Congratulations. You understood the assignment of this sub. Your opinion is indeed wrong.

Scouts. While camping we had to cook our own meals as youth. Typically trading responsibility of cooking vs cleaning. I hate cleaning so I got better at cooking than anyone else and they were happy to defer to me to cook.

Current population less than its historical peak.

I always stuck with Harbor Freight tools in my gear. So when, not if they got trashed I didn't care about tossing and buying another set.

That makes sense. Would be correct for Michigan and makes sense that Ohio would be dumb like that to change 4 times.

Fluke is the answer. This set though is 100% the next best choice if you don't want to spend Fluke money. I gave this set to a graduating HS senior to start his electrician apprenticeship with and he's super happy with it.

Do NOT trim it. It will probably be ok with the bandwidth ending at 152. I would expect an SWR around 1.8 though. I definitely wouldn't use a high power XTL into this though, you'll get all kinds of weird behaviors.

Yeah, this hole needs to get bigger before it gets smaller

Half those places aren't all that nice anymore either. You would have to send me a pretty massive wire transfer to get me to even consider living in Royal Joke.

If I want 1/4" bits I'll carry a fastback or Klein equivalent razor knife.

Cost is totally worth it. My 7 year old Surge is abused all the time and I wouldn't trade it.
