Summary: CHECK YOURS!

After reading the previous article, I measured the line voltage in
my house, and in my SO's apt.  Mine measured 125.6, my SO's measured
122.3.  (I used a Fluke model 77 multimeter, not "true" RMS, but
should be accurate, since line voltage is supposed to be sinusoidal.
Hmmm... maybe I should drag a 'scope home and check that too?)

I'm not as worried about the electric bills as what it's doing to
my equipment.  Since moving into this house, I've had problems
with my power amplifier and my phone answering machine. (I have
MOVs protecting them from spikes)

PGE is getting a phone call from me later this morning.

Anyone for a class-action suit?
