there's always a surprise. There's no internet, no hot water and sometimes no electricity.
I spent 3 days looking into why my PA and radio were going off, there were ferrites everywhere already, SWR excellent....I had no idea how the local power grid works, as my QTH is indeed grid off.
The electricity here comes from a small water turbine on a stream that flows into the Congo River. When the flow is low, the grid voltage drops. No electronic stabilization, just mechanics. It's a spinning wheel in the riverbed, it raises the flow and the voltage.......
