[Amps] Transformer Update

[k7rdx]

I encourage the QRO guys in the Southern parts of the USA to use as much 
power as their hearts desire...We produce here (Central Wa) much of the 
excess megawatts purchased by them for several times what it costs us...You 
see,the more they use keeps our rates low here!And we have public power 
managed by elected officials so all our citizens benefit...And please 
Southern QRO guys,don`t move up here!  73, Jim..K7RDX..
