Trader Joe’s 72% Cacao Dark Chocolate is about right for me. Per the label, a square is 170 calories, of which 44 is due to carb (added sugar), and the rest is fat and protein.

Although I use a propane range, I'm wired for a 240V 30A electric one. That's only 7.2KW. My water heater is also propane. I have a friend with a Bridgeport vertical mill in his garage/workshop. He had to build a single pha

Do you have a link to your technology? Why is the indirect method so sensitive to extraneous movement? More so than just reflecting the additional energy expenditure?

Thanks for the EU detail! Are you saying the typical house in the EU has three phase power delivered to it? All three phases? Here in the US, where split-phase is the residential standard, a house with three phase is quite rare. The HV lin

The transformer on the pole delivers 240V rms center tapped, with the center tap being connected to ground at the pole. The center tap wire is actually uninsulated, and the two hots are wrapped around it for support. The center tap is conn

So go do it. It's easy, with the online practice tests [0][2]. A Technician license (the first one) can operate morse code in the old novice bands on 80, 40, 15, and 10 meters [1]. [0] http://www.arrl.org/licensing-educ

It's very common to build your own low power (5 watts) transmitter and use code. No fancy electronics or computers needed. People do it out in the woods from inside their sleeping bag in the dark. Edit: [0][1] [0] http://n

That's what original Morse telegraphy sounds like. Just clicks, no tone. Before I read your post, I guessed he was sending around 25 wpm. He sounds very regular, but I can only read tones - never practiced interpreting the clicks. Ed
