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! :-)

Hey, back off!

Ooops. My excuse is finding an honest morseperson not trying
(too much) to destroy an NCTA... :-)

I cede to your point.

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. :-)

CW telemetry always gets through.

It MUST...whether there's electric power available or not! :-)

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!.

Sunnuvagun!

But, but, but... Len. I -need- her to be licensured or credentialed
in metrology whether there's such a thing or not.

I -must- have it.

I DEMAND IT!!!

If SHE doesn't produce licensure in metrology within 24 hours,
Dee will forever be known as a LIAR and a Bag Lady and a Horse Thief!

Because I say so!

;^)

Hmmm...trying out nursie's fantasyworld thinking?

Warning: Do not try that at home!

Oooh. Ow. I've got a headache this morning. Terrible, terrible
dreams. I should have known they're would be a backlash to acting so
crazy.

Heh, we could have said "told ya so!" but that would be cruel.

It must have been like Darth Vader experienced...except ol Darth
didn't survive.

Sorry, to Dee. I ventured where no sane person should go.

[we'll all wait for the inevitable "you don't have the credentials!" :-) ]

But...to be super-legal on ham HF one MUST be tested for
morsemanship.

Only in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Yes, so I'm told by all the PCTA extras...if they bother
mentioning it at all... :-)

Ham radios won't work without that credential?

Nope - they refuse.

Physics is altogether different.

Haven't you learned that by now? You've been told often enough.

If you don't get that by now I'm going to have to start Dialing...

Careful, careful, trying to think like nursie may be hazardous to
your health!

Oooh. Ow. My head.

Take two tablets of acetyl salicylic acid and call a real MD in
the morning.

Strange brew. The things you learn in a ham newsgroup.

Yes, it is...once in a while a true factoid comes into public view,
about 1 percent of the time in between all the PCTA extras trying
to destroy all NCTA whichever way they can... :-)

Yep. Dee was correct.

Hey, what's that box-van with 911 painted on the side doing in my
driveway?

Hi, hi!

It's the PCTA Police van! Oh, oh, big trouble! :-)

Hi hi and a Ho ho.
