Jerry Sevick, W2FMI (SK) called this the “Soak Test.” He used it to run real power through the TLT network to check efficiency. It’s a pretty simple test whereby you simply run significant power through the TLTs and measure the temperature rise in the cores. If they get hot, they are not as efficient as…
