CABLE & Electricity Rates
You will need to go to the power co. armed with your copy of part 97.
They will want to see the part and copy it on non commercial use of Ham
radio. It has worked for us on the Metro-Comm repeaters in NY, PA, NJ and
NC.
Do not go after residential rates you don't live there but they
do have a rate for non commercial rate. If the electric CO will not help
call your state PUC. It is a bit of work but it is well worth it in the
end. The same thing works for your phone line as well.
Good luck and 73,

Many thanks to Russ W3CH and John VE3AMZ for the info
on LMR cable used as jumpers on a repeater.
Good luck to Steaven W4YI with respect to electricity
rates. I have not been successful in obtaining
"non-commercial" power rates for an amateur repeater on a commercial
site.
Maybe Steaven will convince the local utility to use a
lower rate.
Thanks again to all.
