As a side note that probably does not apply in this case: if the power you are sending is DC, great... but if you for some reason are putting stepped-down AC on the wire (not something I would do) in a home-brew solution, testing with a spool of wire may befuddle you - it's a big coil, after all. I actually used this once as a way to decouple a machine that generated a lot of high frequency spikes from another machine nearby - I just wound a 100' extension cord around a tube and used it to plug in the machine. :) Greg -- general wireless list, a bawug thing <http://www.bawug.org/> [un]subscribe: http://lists.bawug.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
