Now, Leonard -40F and -40C occur at roughly the same point. Have
your
ever participated in amateur radio emergency communications outdoors
when the temp was -40?

I've been outdoors working when the temperature was -30 F.

-40C and -40F are not roughly the same point, they are EXACTLY the same
point.

(Celsius * 9/5) + 32 = Fahrenheit
(-40C * 9/5) + 32 = -40F

Unless any of you can produce licensure or credentials in meteorology
or atmospheric science, I'm going to have to consider your comments
suspect.

Actually that would have to be metrology (the science of measurement) since
temperature is not limited to weather.

Wow! A true thing by a morseperson! :-)

I've been testing electronics IN a -55 C environment. Involved in
metrology. Was cold. I didn't stay in the walk-in chamber for
any longer than necessary. :-)

Wasn't degreed or credentialed in metrology at the time. Nobody
else involved in that testing was degreed or credentialed in
metrology. NIST doesn't demand that, either!.

Damned good thing they don't since you don't have any degrees or credentials.

Sunnuvagun!

But...to be super-legal on ham HF one MUST be tested for
morsemanship. Ham radios won't work without that credential?

Looks like you're slowly gettting it . . .
