Stay safe out there. Beware of high ohmage.April 6, 2020 By Dan KB6NU 4 CommentsJust posted to /r/amateurradio:If you think about it, 10 kΩ is not that high. You can easily encounter 1 MΩ or more in some circuits!Related posts:From redditt: waterproofing coax, K7UGAAnd contest season is only beginning….High Frequency Electronics: January 2011Extra Class question of the day: stay in band
Steve~W8SFC saysApril 7, 2020 at 9:41 amDoes that mean, “resistance is fatal”, or is it, “impedance is fatal” ?Reply
Ned Davis saysApril 7, 2020 at 11:13 amPay homage to “ohmage”. I was of the impression impedance was similar to impudence found in sass and DGMAL (Don’t Give Me Any Lip) circuits.Reply
Dave New, N8SBE saysApril 7, 2020 at 2:54 pmThat’s old. I’ve had a sticker on my file cabinet for about 3 decades that says, “DANGER 500,000 OHMS”Reply
Dan KB6NU saysApril 7, 2020 at 3:58 pmSee? That’s what I’m saying. There are lots of circuits with much higher ohmage than 10k. :)Reply
