Yep, back in 1958 I loaded up my first home-brew transmitter (6146, of
course) with a 100W bulb and I am one of the many hams who can claim to
have made a qso using the bulb for an antenna, on 40M cw. The output
capacitor of my pi-net was one of those double-gang 365 uuf per gang
broadcast receiver jobbies.
