On 17 Jan 96  10:52:00, Kim Saunders emerged from Reality 

 to tell me about Phone Line & electric fences

Thanks for that info Kim.  It's been 20 years since I studied any physics

or electronics.  I presume the power spike gets converted to a magnetic 

field pulse and then radiates away?



Ian Smith referred to this as "voodoo electronics".  Would a
chook force-fed 

on ferrite, ritually sacrificed, and stuffed in the loop, work any better? ;)



cheers,  Fraser
