[SEDXC] Traps?

[John Harden, D.M.D.]

There have ALWAYS been individuals running that kind of power...... The
FCC used to go to QTH's and take a field strength reading outside. Then
they would go in and ask the individual to tune the linear to legal
power. They had them cold when the new field strength reading was 1/10
the original reading!!!

There are two dead give-aways....

1) Water cooling systems (pipes running into the shack).

2) 440 Volt, 3 phase power going into the shack

I remember a ham being electrocuted in the 1960's when he touched the
pole transformer he was using for a plate transformer. Reverse pole
transformers were common..... Put 230 volts single phase on the
secondary and get out several thousand on the primary.

73,

John, W4NU
