[FLham] CFL Transmitter "The Derelicht"

[Bry Carling]

Someone in another group pointed out a really NEAT 
transmitter that you can build using the oparts inside a 
"CFL" light bulb.  I suppose, loosely speakling, this could 
be considered a "tube rig" in a way, he he!

ARRL could come out with a new AWARD!! WASCFL, 
or maybe even CFL100, or CFLDXCC - he he!

Anyway  it's just a little two stage MOPA style, crystal-controlled 
rig with an FET final.   it develops 1.5 Watts of RF and the author
has included the schematic in a link at the top of the web page 
article.

After all the dicussions we have had about CFLs over the 
past couple of years, someone has finally found a better 
use for these things... just lately I have seen the bulbs on 
sale for about $2.00 each or so, in packs of 4 or 6 at the market.

Enjoy!
