Hi Jim,
Thanks for the expansion on that... I know less than I want to know
about Power Line... Any way you know of, that a power company will go
along with, to clean up power as it arrives? Ferrite's on the power
lines etc? I am almost afraid to ask the power company about adding
ferrite's to the incoming lines.

Thanks and 73's,
