Thanks John - my distribution locally within the area is underground with
overhead out about 1/4 mile. One typo crept in out local supply down the roads
is at 7.5 kilovolt...not Watts of course. If i run opds32 its very easy to see
the daily repetition of what it is... Sort of a good thing in some way - i like
to see the occasional spot or smpsu squirrly give me an idea that my s/n isnt
too bad. If I get a clear Argo screen I get worried :-)
