What year did Yaesu announce the release of the FT-DX10?

Answer: 2020


Entry page https://www.gigaparts.net/sweepstakes/

Reading https://swling.com/blog/2020/10/t...0at%20WiMo.

Quote :
The new FTDX10 will be available in early December 2020 at WiMo.
Last time they asked, "What year was the Yaesu FTDX10 released?" I thought they might be getting a little tricky by asking about the announcement date instead of the release date but the announcement was in October 2020. Or perhaps the release date varied by country.

How many watts are consumed in a circuit having a power factor of 0.2 if the input is 100 VAC at 4 amperes?

Answer: 80 watts


Entry page https://www.gigaparts.net/sweepstakes/

Reading HamStudy.org Section E5 Question D5 https://hamstudy.org/browse/E4_2020/E5D

Quote :
E= 100 V
I= 4 A
Power Factor (PF) = 0.2
How many watts are consumed in this circuit?

The consumption with a power factor of 1.0 would be defined by Ohm's law:
P = E⋅I = 100 V⋅4 A = 400 W
We call this result the Apparent Power, and often refer to it with the symbol S:
S = Papparent = 400 W
To determine the real power, the apparent power needs to be multiplied by the power factor:
PReal = S⋅PF = 400 W⋅0.2 = 80 W
