[Elecraft] CFL's - LEDs - Solar

[Phil Hystad]

My house is filled with some cheap LED lights — there are four in the ham shack alone.  Never have I had any EMI issues from these lamps.  By cheap, I mean the lower cost LED lights from Home Depot.  I don’t really go out of my way to get the cheapest things I own — after all, I have a full K-Line and KX3.
