[Elecraft] OT: Oh the lovely noise

[Mike]

Agreed.  I've been using an increasing number of CFLs since the mid-90s, and
despite testing, I've never really had a problem with them.  Not to say there
aren't some brands out there that truthfully started the stereotype, but I
haven't found them.  OTOH, there was a plasma TV in a work rental house in
Hawaii one time, that obliterated everything on HF.

73,
