[SCCC] power monitor

[Alan Zack]

Remember it only works with 110 volt stuff.  I would have loved to have 
had one during one of my trips to the Philippines.  I rented a beach 
cottage and put up a R-7 vertical on a 25 ft pole braced to the 
building.  The owner wanted to know what I was doing and I showed him my 
little TS-50 transceiver I would be using in the CQWWDX.  He charged me 
an electric surcharge for my transmitter.  Didn't make a lot of sense 
considering there were two window air conditioners running 24/7 while I 
was there.
