A bit of progress yesterday as we found a wrong connection on the Receiver path which was a result of when I added the IRF510, the right wire was in the wrong pace. With that fixed we will look to see if we can make some on the air contacts. The Pout as I predicted is 4 watts.

We are getting closer to our goal of a minimalist SDR transceiver run off of a Raspberry Pi5 SBC. As can be seen in the photo above -- not a lot of components. If this could be done all in SMD then a very small footprint. But even with Manhattan style not that big.
Them that know can make it go.
If you have a tax refund coming, it will probably have to be reviewed by Teflon Elon before they cut you a check.
More on proving who you are. The Voter ID project will most likely require a separate Voter ID Card if you don't have a Passport or Real ID. So, you best get some certified copies of your birth certificate as you will need that to get a Voter ID. Or if you do nothing you have achieved the goal of the Voter ID --- you won't be eligible to vote.
