Arcing represents a loss of energy, which for most power utilities means loss of revenue. For a while, a member of the extended family dated a power line tech whose job it was to "sniff" the insulators along a 240KV transmission line for the local utility on a regular basis. It takes strange people do that job. :) -- -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 >From a Clearing in the Silicon Forest Beaverton (Washington County) Oregon ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
