Re: I am a european!



Flac,

This is incorrect.  AWG *does* stand for American Wire Gauge, but it's only a
measurement.  The *lower* the AWG, the *thicker* the wire.  A formula was
posted on the list about 2 weeks ago if you need it, but others have posted
links to tables on their sites relating AWG to wire diameter.
