Subj : Todays Safety Tip To : All From : Daryl Stout Date : Wed Mar 27 2019 12:06 am Here is today's Ham Shack Safety Tip: Be sure that all power is OFF, and all circuits are SUFFICIENTLY DISCHARGED, before working on them. Do NOT have anything metal on, such as jewelry, belts, etc., that could complete an electrical circuit through you. If you don't know what you're doing, send it to a ham radio dealer for servicing. The cost incurred for repair is not worth paying with the price of your life!! As little as 1 amp (1000 milliamps) of electricity, if even that, can be fatal!! With some of the gear nowadays, it's cheaper to throw it in the trash, if it quits working, and buy a replacement rig...rather than send it off for repairs. --- SBBSecho 3.07-Win32 * Origin: RadioWxNet: The Thunderbolt BBS tbolt.synchro.net (801:1/2) þ Synchronet þ Temple of Doom BBS - tod.eothnet.com .
