as i stated in my first reply i know that this is an old string but i'm hoping that some of u guys are still around and have this as one of yer favorite strings...i would like to talk more on this subj. and c where u guys have gotten with it???
one thought!! being a lineman and having done storm damage the point was made earlier in the string that "backfeeding" from a gen can kill one of us!!that is entirely true but my thought is !!! what about getting yer power from the start to 120 ac and backfeeding it through a transformer for sending the power to a remote area and then stepping it back down again??? i know that this changes everything as dist lines are not only highly dangerous but also have to b maintaned but if u own the whole system then all u have to do is shut her down completely and disconnect at the power source and then maintain!!!!!?????'s and thoughts on this would b apprec.'d /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Wasabi hasn't posted since March. He comes and goes once in a while. Gets busy and such. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Someone will probably chime in over the weekend.

The road isn't mossy, yet, but should be by the time I retire. Next time I'm out there I'll take a picture or two. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
