** The ham radio fuckwit abuses people in a public, so any response to him 
has to be too.

KD5YI is a trolling, trouble making nutter who needs to be booted off usenet 
immediately.

And you are no net cop.

[snicker] Okay, meet me at dawn. Your choice of pistols.

Can you just read another thread and ignore this one?

Yes, now think it through clearly. I did not say zero but nearly zero. ?-)

Ummm, well maybe the extremely few that are designed to be operated that way. It is very few. ?-)

Nope. Go read the thread again, you inserted Rogowski coils (for the second time)
