[Amps] item that was for sale good luck shipping

[Russ Williams]

According to a local utility worker and fellow ham, as recently as a couple of years ago, the utility routinely dumped their PCB-laden transformer oil on the ground and a treated it with lime; job done!  The treatment supposedly rendered it even more harmless.

As an electronics buff as a kid, I kept a jar of Pyranol (drained from old capacitors) on my work table next to my bed.  I got the stuff on me quite often during experimentation--that was 35 years ago.

More misinformation spread by those who are wresting more control of our lives through fear.  Have you heard about global warming??  Ohmygod, we are doomed!  (Sorry for the rant!!!)
