[ADXA] Birthday, Bertha, Street lights, phonetics and DX

[rcurt at centurytel.net]

Happy Birthday  Charles KF5TL About everyone I know has an April Birthday. 


Bertha’s Birthday may be in April! Good progress is being made 


Bertha’s heatsink came from a 180000 lumen LED street light conversion. Not being an engineer, but very curious about what 180000 lumens would be in “gallons”, it shows to be somewhere around 9000 watts. I’ve got the utmost confidence that I will not exceed the capabilities of the heat sink…but it sure don’t keep me from wishing that I could. 


In honor of gardening time, I am changing the phonetics of ZJ to Zucchini Jalepeno. I bet this goes over like a concrete cloud if used in a pileup. 


What has this got to do with DX? Actually not much, but if you think long and hard enough, a person may find a very distant connection. 


Everyone have a great weekend, and stay storm safe!
