Perhaps an other guy made an objection...

.... I doubt the shipping logistics are the challenge, but more of an internal challenge dealing with something that no one has dealt with before - giving away stuff.

If they want some more practice.....

My guess: They will...

The numbers right now:

The scope has arrived in the USA and will start the final leg of the journey on Monday. I got the official word from Keysight just moments ago.

This is ridiculously exciting.

We have a long weekend here in Australia (Queen's Birthday holiday on Monday) ..... but I think Carlos' weekend will feel like a month.

It is .... but I think everyone here would understand completely.

It's about to get REAL people. Keysight has done it, it's now up to FedEx to make it happen.

Sweet, a quick trip to Memphis and then it will be heading your way.

If you google "fedex" and the two airports you can see real time movements of the various fedex cargo planes. Perhaps that is overkill but for something this special, maybe not

My contacts at NORAD initiated an escort mission with 2 F15 Eagles and staggered KC135 tankers to ensure the safety of the shipment and provide real-time tracking. Should be good.

Cool as a 6Ghz water heater

Time to set up the video camera. Set the recording to start at 5:00am.

We want continuous coverage from the FedEx truck entering the street until it's powered up on your bench!

Carlos, you're not going to drop dead on us from the excitement when you actually get the scope in your hands are you?

Hopefully not .

ChunkyPastaSauce · « **Reply #713 on:** June 15, 2016, 02:25:15 am »

If he does, I call dibs.

But yes....hopefully not...hopefully not

Brumby · « **Reply #714 on:** June 15, 2016, 02:39:36 am »

If he does - be ready for our first zombie member here....

After all this, do you think simply dying will be enough to stop him?

You mean he has already changed his will so that he is buried with the scope?

(or perhaps cremated on a BBQ, as is the want of Keysight!?

)

I hope to be buried in a Faraday cage to prevent all the Ghz from escaping.

The first thing you should do with it is to check whether your water heater is working efficiently.

rx8pilot · « **Reply #719 on:** June 15, 2016, 05:05:22 pm »

The box has made it to the local station.......

I have my shirt on - ready. Wife will take photos/video.

Delivered! 6Ghz of mixed signal glory has landed. I have already poured a glass of single malt scotch at 10:30AM. Will post updates as soon as practical. This happens to land on an abnormally busy work day, so be patient.

Congratulations!

Now show us the beast.

Stuck with soul crushing work schedule at the moment - but thought I would share these joyful pics!

I did shoot video and will post the fun details asap. It is truly remarkable that Keysight handled the contest the way they did. hard to express how awesome this is and I plan to take full advantage of the opportunity.
