The question was to the effect "what precautions should be taken with high voltage power supplies?". The obviously correct answer was "the use of bleeder resistors". In the same list, however, was "Double indemnity life insurance." Imagine! The FCC with a sense of humor. It really made my day. This discussion about what ought to be a trivial (to us hams, anyway) question brings up an important point. If it becomes obvious that a given question is ambiguous, how do we go about having it removed from the list? Can a person who has taken a test appeal such questions? Phil
