[Elecraft] Dipoles and Heat

[Guy Olinger, K2AV]

Probably the same as as a 50 watt light bulb, but spread all over all the 
material in the attic.  One could not measure it with any ordinary heat 
measuring devices.  Quite a bit of the misdirected RF would be spread all 
over places other than the attic by the house wiring.

73, Guy.
