I've done something similar myself by wrapping a few turns of wire around the AC cord. If the integrity of the insulation is good, this is safe, as that odd conductor is not connected to the AC line, just capacity coupled for an antenna. Attached is my prerequisite cat, Venus. She is trying to prevent me from leaving on my annual pilgrimage to the Dayton Hamvention. :-) Joe, N6DGY --------------------------------------------------------------------- [Image] She looks like my cat. -- jimmymac spell usenet backward for email |
