Hi Dan,

Rather than a repeater, I was thinking along the lines of a "super" TW523
that would output at least double the amplitude with enough beef to handle
at least a few signal suckers.  This could be mounted adjacent to the
breaker panel and plugged into a 240V socket to drive both phases
simultaneously.  I see no reason why the 100 KHz signal couldn't be branched
off to other panels too.
