[SCCC] power monitor

Sure it made sense for the cottage owner!

How do you think he paid for the AC for those air conditioners!

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.
