[Elecraft] [KX3] OT: AC wiring, grounds

[Alan]

I recently have been having extensive electrical renovation done on my 
early 60s era house.  We found wires spliced in the middle of a wall (3 
different places), wrong wire sizes, a dead bat in the main meter panel, 
and my favorite:  a 220V circuit with each phase on a separate single 
breaker, which weren't even the same amperage!  :=)
