[Elecraft] Basement QRN

[Thom LaCosta]

Discovered another reason I don't like them spiral lights with the nasty mercury 
in them....I have been plagued by QRN.....and once I "heard" that it was a very 
regular pattern(like a fast motor-boat) I went hunting....

Sure enough, one of them modren, don't use much power, lasts a long time toxic 
material containing bulbs was ossylayting to beat the band....

Now, I have unscrewed it and have packed it away in a shock proof transportation 
carrier so that I can legally transport it to one of the two approved 
faciltities around here that accepts them...and hope that it doesn't break and 
force me to report myself to the Maryland Environmental Police so they can 
condem my car and force me to hire a toxic waste hauler to take the car with the 
shattered bulb to the approved disposal facility.
