[FADCA] Note of Interest

[fadca@mailman.qth.net]

I compared my repeater building electric costs tonight.

Repeater with air-conditioned, 3 repeaters (6m micor 100 watt, 2m MSR2000
100 watt, 70cm MSR 2000 50 watt) and one external preamp.

July 02 average 10 kwh per day
July 03 average 11 kwh per day  29 service days for 331 kwh used $39.75
Jan 03 average    7 kwh per day
Jan 04 average    7 kwh per day  32 service days for 231 kwh used $31.86

My repeaters are in a 8 X 10 insulated (standard fiber glass between 16" on
center 2X4 studs and roof supports) insulated steel door (not standard wood
door that came with kit) wooden storage building constructed from a kit and
having a gambrel roof with a center ridge vent and edge vents.  Location is
in sun, no shade during mid day.

This seems to be similar each year (I could go back and compare.)

What are others seeing their electric usage each month.
