It is a matter of choice for some electricians, There some that prefer stranded for the pulling aspect and that the crimp-on connections work extremely well. The crimp-on connections are lousy with solid wire, but I thing the wire-nuts work better on solid as opposed to stranded. I think that...

I would suspect that you have a disconnected or burnt neutral conductor on a multiwire branch circuit or the neutral conductor coming from the utility somehow got severed.

If you have a 10MHz crystal source driving a 5W narrowband amplifier, into ijl's 100pF feed-through (rotory) cap, and on the rotor a series 2.533uH inductor for series "warpspeed" resonance (The L-C disappears!!). Then into a small bridge and cap for your source. Plus no need for rubber gloves...

My first thought was a Van de Graaff generator, but I will let it rest.

Thanks Biff, It has been a while, but sure thought the arrays were schottky diode arrays, but they could have been arrays of varactor diodes I guess. That program died and ugly death as I recall. Now not to be a pain, but is Idler a reference to a person, or an abstract representation of the...

Headlines: electrocution by toy clock!

I remember being in reviews about HP triplers w/ monolithic schottky diode arrays, they were very concerned about some "idling current", I was lost. Can somebody now fill me in what is this idling-circulating current is why it was apparently so importent?

Amps = coulombs/sec Hertz = cycles/sec therefor the convertion is (1)pA= (1)Hz* (1)picocoulomb/cycle or (1)pA=(1)Hz*(1)coulomb/(1)Gigacycle. Obvious I thought.

I would say that when it breaks off and flys into the jet engine intake, would be an unexceptable case of an aircraft damaged antenna. Other than that maybe it the VSWR is 10 or so?

Was this a Hoax or what? It first appeared to be phenomena of unprecedented proportions, but, yet it died with only a cursory review.

While we are talking high freq's and narrow gaps, why not just use a air dielectric capacitve feed through. Much simpler in principle.

The NEC says that for feeders 800A and above need GFP. It does not require it be designed well.

You people are lucky to even complain. The morons that have been breastfeed by the government virtual pearl harbor, idiocy, have outsourced all computer functions, leaving only the sacred Microsoft office. This is no joke. I am back to paper and pencil, but I can still do some plotting by using...
