Rates vary widely around the country. Here on the Central Oregon Coast we are supplied by the Bonneville Power through 31 dams, over 2,350 wind turbines and a nuclear power plant. We pay 6.31 cents per kilowatt hour.
Some power is bought off of the grid at peak times, so our power overall is only 93% carbon-free. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Brown Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 4:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KPA500 Power Switches On 8/29/2012 11:32 AM, Alan Bloom wrote: > 240 watt-hours per day, or about 3 cents, I wish that were true. But I'm paying a peak rate of $0.34 per kWh, and we do lots of things to minimize our power use in that penalty area. Indeed, one of my mental cost justifications for buying the KPA500 was that its instant-on feature saved the cost of keeping the filaments of my Titan going when I was in the shack. So I really would like that front panel switch to kill power to the unit, not just to the microprocessor. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
