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.

Answer: FC-40

ReadingFC-40 https://www.gigaparts.com/yaesu-fc-40-2.html

I'd rather have the LDG AT-100PROII Auto Tuner https://www.gigaparts.com/ldg-ele...proii.html
But Yaesu is the Sweepstake sponsor so the answer is FC-40.

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
