You have all indulged me regarding my quest for the safest way to do 120/240 volt wiring and I appreciate that. Looking ahead to the distant future, here is something I would like everyone, including
Something seems wrong with this picture. When I think of RF burns I am reminded of that time back in early 60's when I was on the flight line at George AFB working on an F106 radar system. I temporar
