I got a new rig for 40m packet operations so thought I'd share some
trivia that's utterly bonkers.
Thanks to the ELMER function on VE3VTY node.
PE1RRR: how many icom 7300 radios do i need to stand on to reach the
moon?
Elmer: To determine how many Icom IC-7300 radios you would
need to stack on top of each other to reach the moon, we need to
make a few calculations.
The average distance from Earth to the moon is approximately 384,400
kilometers.
The height of an Icom IC-7300 radio is approximately 116 mm.
First, we need to convert the height of the radio from millimeters
to kilometers:
116 mm = 0.116 meters = 0.000116 kilometers
Next, we divide the distance to the moon by the height of the radio:
384,400 km / 0.000116 km = 3,319,310,345
Therefore, you would need approximately 3,319,310,345 or around 3.3
billion Icom IC-7300 radios stacked on top of each other to reach
the moon.
Please note that this is a purely hypothetical calculation and does
not consider practical limitations, weight, or structural integrity.
It's always best to keep these calculations theoretical for the sake
of fun and imagination.
*takes 1 step*
On my way!
