@w0odl This is an interesting development. Will have to read through the petition. In the meantime, it's a reminder that perhaps our HF #hamradio bands aren't as secure as we might thinnk.

So, many of us in the #amateurradio / #hamradio world use BioEnno LiFePO4 batteries. They're great batteries, but maybe a little pricey. For example, a 12 Ah BioEnno battery (https://www.bioennopower.com/collections/12v-series-lifepo4-batteries/products/12v-12ah-lfp-battery-abs-blf-1212ab?variant=28525822021) is $125, but this 12 Ah battery (https://www.amazon.com/Battery-HWE-Lithium-LiFePO4-Lighting/dp/B09FP1NWFX/) is only $46 from Amazon. Do any of you have experience with alternate brands, and would you recommend them?
