This used to be a very important day in the UK. It is Lady Day, which marked the day of the annunciation of Mary in the Christian calendar.
In secular affairs it was a Quarter Day on which long contracts were often settled.
I remember it as the day in 1959 when we moved house!
UPDATE 1611z: Spotted by 4 stations with the best PP5ZX{10058km). See table.
For weeks I have been following the 2 bit Da Vinci videos on the Donut batteries recently announced. It really looks as if this is real.
I truly think we are on the edge of a real breakthough at last.
At about 1505z, I changed to 10m WSPR with my beacon.
UPDATE 1544z: 4 spots by EA8BFK (2880km).
Later I hope to go on 10m FT8, mainly RX.
All being well it should be available in July. Most of the parts are already placed on the PCB.
In my view these are almost there.
By next year probably several companies will be launching EVs with huge ranges and fast charging times. Many will charge their car overnight at home when needed.
Electric cars, if low cost and with >700 miles on a single charge, will transform motoring. Fast charging times are a bonus.
At the moment China is ahead. In my view, the USA is in great danger of missing out on the coming revolution. In my opinion, we are on the cusp of a revolution as big as the death of CRTs and film cameras.
Sold state batteries could be transformative.
