Dear ,

Are you a new subscriber in the past week? Cowabunga am I glad you're here! Seasoned subscriber? I cherish your continued commitment to collect counsel that avoids costly outlays of cash.

Yesterday I had a fun amateur radio day. Tens of thousands of radio operators across the USA and Canada participated in a 24-hour emergency training exercise. It's called Field Day.

The intention is to encourage operators to set up stations out in the *field* in any weather conditions to hone skills in case an amateur radio operator is needed in a natural disaster. Some radio clubs transform it into a food event and dabble in radio part of the day.

I set up in a wooded location with my outdoor radio mentor and honed my skills battling mosquitos and wood ticks as well as sending and receiving Morse code. I sent all of my transmissions using very low power - about the same as you need for a traditional night light - 4 watts!

You only need that kind of power to send a message thousands of miles if the atmosphere is tickled just right by energy from the sun.

Why You're HOT With Your AC On

There are several reasons why your central AC is not able to keep you comfortable. The first thing I look at in a house is to see if each room has a return air duct to transport HOT air from a room back to the air handler.

That return grill and duct MUST BE in the proper location and sized correctly.

Extension Cord Danger & Sizing

Are you flummoxed by extension cords? Are you aware of the DANGER lurking in each one?

Just last week a visitor to the website asked me a question about cords. He mentioned how he just got a new electric lawn mower and the owner's manual specified the cord he should use.

He then said, "I went to the local big box store and the length I needed was not there. Is it okay to SUBSTITUTE ........"

If you were a betting person, what might you think my answer would be?

If you don't know the EXACT ANSWER, I BEG YOU to CLICK OR TAP HERE and read my column and the last comment way at the bottom.

You generally only get one chance with extension cords.

Make a mistake and you might qualify for the ubiquitous Darwin Award.

Perfect Concrete Installation

Concrete installation looks easy.

Concrete installed by pros can be very costly.

Concrete installation is far more complex than you'd ever imagine.

Do you want to only have it done once and have it LAST for DECADES?

I thought so.
