- Can anyone comment on the advisability of powering-up a remote DC (24v) relay - about 200 ft away with a single wire with the other side simply the ground? It would be a dedicated supply not connecte

- Don't they usually recommend AC, not DC, for that application? Rick N6RK _______________________________________________ Topband mailing list Topband@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailma

- I've done that at 500 feet and even controlled a small motor. I don't have sandy or lossy soil so resistance was low enough. Worked out well for me. 73, Charlie N0TT ________________________________

- Pete: I have remote operated a 12v DC relay more than 300m away at the end of a beverage wire with no problem. This was to switch the termination resistor in and out. I found it was most reliable us

- remote DC (24v) other side simply application? That's because you can get some "battery" voltage across the earth path, plus a dc current can erode a ground rod quite a bit faster. With low power hi
