Jeff, Sorry Mate, maybe move up to Alaska?
There are "almost" no regulations. I can build anything I want. I wired the 240 extension to the shack. The wife and I built a 12x40-foot storage shed in 2007 and had a backyard driveway put in without permits. I put up my two 50-foot radio towers and a 16-foot dish. We have six dog kennel. Cleared and planted a lawn. I can have any gun I want and most Alaskan's do have them! It is legal to shoot loose dogs, but not loose teenagers (joke)! Now there are some regulations one runs into when selling property so all this stuff may not get thru that process (though mostly it does). My last house had half the rooms with two-connector ac outlets (no safety ground wiring). Yet it was passed for FHA financing. Of course it was built in 1955 before statehood and electrical codes were different then. Alaska - Land of the FREE & WILD! (At least until Obama discovers us). ;-) OK back to ham radio - sorry for this definite OT 73, Ed ------------------------------ Message: 34 Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2011 07:48:50 +1000 From: "Jeff Cochrane - VK4BOF" <vk4bof.elecr...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] 120V vs 240V To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Message-ID: <6473486CC8584D5DB290C9963851FA3F@maxileech> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" In Australia, we aren't (legally) permitted to put a plug or socket on an extension lead let alone doing our own house wiring. I believe that NZ has slightly less draconian laws that allow some limited house wiring mods to be done (and your allowed to put plugs on leads!) but over here any household electrical work must be done by a suitably licenced electrician. Damned silly rule if you ask me.
