    Yes I know. Not sure that others do though which is why I mentioned it seeing as it was getting picky.

    Cheers


    I am not a sparky but am a trained signaller so it's the same for signal equipment and Antennae and Propagation of signal, that's only reason I know. Plus had to learn wiring etc. to do my job.

    Wasn't having a dig, just I know people who think averages are meaningless for some reason.

    Yes so you could pick the right flag up in the dark.

    Me too although I though it closer to 340V peak but no point in arguing. However I said peak to peak not just peak. :)
