[EIDXA] July 29 meeting

[rideon2266 at aol.com]

For the benefit of the members:  The QST article has produced numerous emails asking for help. Most interesting though is the discovery that all major HVAC companies and several smaller firms buy their motors from one company: Regal Beloit in Ft Wayne, IN. ...and there is an engineer there who is also a ham who fields the complaints that are fed to him from the OEMs. 

Steve Nadin W9SAN contacted me to say he has other solutions he's used depending on the particular application. 

So, if you've complained to a manufacturer and not received any help, holler and I'll put you in touch with him. I've also encouraged him to post on eham.net to get the word out. 

Bob
