Hi Gary,

When I first started adding filters, I hooked them up backwards (like so 
many others did). It did ok for a while, but one day I blew a 1/2" hole 
in the filter case. I've since wired my filter normally with no such 
problems. But honestly, I have no clue if it's doing any good or not. 
There was time when I was able to get my hands on a nice Dranetz logging 
meter, but those days are long gone. Too bad I wasn't coiling back then. 
A Dranetz would be very handy logging the lines and ground before and 
after the filter over time.

Take care,
Bart
