ANY meal is going to be better than buying some janky LED lights.
I went to a rotating sushi bar for a quick lunch yesterday and that was better than LEDs.
There's no product Govee could produce that would be considered "lifetime" - even buying the damned company from CCP wouldn't be life changing.

Our local courses use untreated surface (pond) water for their courses.
You have to pay for the water you use. If the water utility isn't charging what it costs them to operate, that's on them.
They gotta create the right incentives to influence people.

"very nice" is being generous.
It's nicer than Hara, but it's literally a fairground. It has rained (torrential downpour) the past few years so the tailgate area's a mud pit. Much of it has no A/C so it gets hot.
Hamvention is good only because of the size and history. Location is not ideal though.

What do you intend to do with it? Much packet activity in your area?

Yes, but...
The (overpriced, but nice) tripod for the MC-750 is a real help if you're in an area without soft soil (or no soil like an urban setting).

I've found it to be quite accurate.
It greatly speeds up deployment. I'm almost exclusively a CW op, and with the etching, I know just how far to extend the whip past the mark to get down into the CW band.

I was completely unaware and missed the QRP-L thread. Thanks for sharing. I've been looking for a new kit!
