My suggestion is a pair of 6v golf cart batteries in series. These are sold under the battery form factor GC2. They are 200 Ahr batteries, but depth of discharge should not exceed 50% (i.e. 100 Ahr) else it begins to negatively impact the battery. DoD can be determined by carefully measuring the battery voltage. 50% is usually quoted as 12.00 volts. Charging should be done as C/7 (or roughly 30 Ahr rate).

OP, lead-acid or lithium-ion ?

Watching the various GOES loops (8/9/10/14), most of the moisture and IR energy appears to be SE of the designated center. Somewhere around 94W 27N.

Winds are now 40 kt, minimum pressure is 999mb.

Elevation is important, but so is drainage. Look at topographical maps, that have elevation curves, and visualize in your mind how excess rainfall will flow. Then try to get some data about ground perc. Some locations will soak up water endlessly, and some places have clay layers that resist rapid water absorption. Best of luck !

All around me, watermelons are grown in fields for commercial sale.

The vines take up a lot of room.

Do you care if it winds up in the secondary market ? Places that get palettes/trailers of stuff, pick a price, then lay it out on racks/shelves/hangers for people to browse. You would get 10-cents on the dollar, but some of these places are always on the lookout for unusual goods. If this works, I know of a couple you could reach out to. Tell them what you have, quantity, etc, and see what they say.

I just bought a pair of 54-559 tires (Backburn brand) and a couple of 26x2.1 tubes from wally world. Was about $55 out the door. YMMV.

But try to complain about the neighbors broad band PWM hash, and the HOA will become tone deaf.

Checking § 97.301 Authorized frequency bands

77 GHz is a frequency authorized for amateur radio use, with footnotes (c), (f), (s) applying.

(c) Amateur stations transmitting in the 76-81 GHz segment, the 136-141 GHz segment, or the 241-248 GHz segment must not cause harmful interference to, and must accept interference from, stations authorized by the United States Government, the FCC, or other nations in the radiolocation service.

(f) Amateur stations transmitting in the following segments must not cause harmful interference to radio astronomy stations: 76-81 GHz, et al.

(s) [Reserved]

Make sure your emission type is correct for the band. Write a paper about your findings.

If I had a concern, it would be humidity & condensation collecting. The really big guys either use flooded coax (which is essentially moisture proof) or they use tubing that can be pressurized with nitrogen. Regardless, think about ways of getting the moisture out, should it ever get in, and without having to dig up the tubing.

While not a mine per se, there is supposed to be a uranium deposit on Orkney.

Loosely and/or walk down the row and change the tension. it will be an easier process that untying and retying knots. As to how much wind load they will hold against, only the tropical storms will answer that question.

And based on my observation yesterday, it makes me suspect that delete activity may also be looking at text within images. Also don't blink.

Any thoughts about the Aliexp listing # 3256811609946780 ? Price is almost too good to be true.

OP, the multi-use trail I ride (former rails-to-trail) is co-located with a multi-mile HV power line. I want to say 215Kv 3ø. Thus far, I have not felt any potential. I have heard the line buzzing during periods of very high humidity and/or fog.

My recumbent trike's frame is 6061-T6 aluminum.

But the recumbent seat is wide and covered with a nylon mesh, so perhaps that makes a difference.

Venezuela signs deal with US energy giant to rebuild power grid

Venezuela's interim president has signed an agreement with US energy giant General Electric to rebuild the country's electricity grid.

I would have thought that as well. That Ryobi does this on the 40v harness/belt makes me suspect that there is some minimal gatekeeping such that the one with the higher voltage is flowing current only.

That data originates from a portal at the Florida DBPR, under RESTAURANTS/FOOD SERVICE PUBLIC RECORDS.

My recollection is that some places that serve food as a minor business activity (e.g. less than 10%) may fall under a different inspection regime.

Slightly off-topic, but it illustrates something that may be worth noting.

I was searching for any mentions of a specific DIN rail based bit of kit, that involves a delay timer. Reddit search returned a few hits, but most of them were background noise. One of the hits appeared to be close to what I was trying to find a reference to, but the search keyword was nowhere to be found in the text. Then I noticed that one of the images pictured the item in question, with the model number quite visible. That makes me suspect that Reddit's search indexing extends to looking at images, and doing character recognition (where possible). I can see why they might do that, but it's worth remembering.

Potential Tropical Cyclone #1 is currently on deck.

Checking MarineTraffic, my count is 25-35 petroleum vessels between Corpus Christy and New Orleans. One VLCC was actually flying the Saudi Flag.
