Edited; now 10PM

Edited again; they actually beat the estimate 9:30PM power back on and transferred over and shut down the tractor, move her in the morning. Time for me to head back and call it a day.

yes, really glad the old girl got a workout. Fulfilled its purpose, helping out on the farm.

Why EMC/I matters...... at about 12 minutes in, you can see (allegedly, there may have been more gens around) what happened to sensitive HF receivers when an HF gen lit up.


Not slamming HF, and this use-case only matters to a tiny-slice of the gen-pop.....

Just turned 1647hrs on my 1200/1500w Champion. The 1 Carbon Build up issue, now the Needle and Seat are leaking. New Carb time for $26 on Amazon.

My 3750 Champion, doesn't get many hrs now that I am 90% Solar, but it fired right up after winter storage. Use it for Power Tools only.

Amazing he was receiving any signals on HF this time of the year with thunder storms overhead. I would be expecting to hear constant static crashes. To top it off, his rig is a QRP rig.

Getting up there on hours, so can't complain there. I rebuilt a Briggs carb on my oldest one before shifting to wet-storage, but it's hard to beat a complete carb @ that price.
