I don't know about your part of the country but we've had a
real problem in this area with people stripping parts off of
parked cars. Maybe it's an organized crime car stripping
gang kind of thing. It's a good you have those spares on
hand to get her back of the road again. Good planning on
your part. :-)

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Load testing a 50 amp supply?
What an idea. I went over to the shack yesterday afternoon
to give this a try and it worked great. Unfortunately, I
got a call at about 10:30 last night from my XYL who said I
needed to come pick her up from BINGO. Said the lights
wouldn't come on on the Jeep.
Man am I in trouble!!!
