[Laser] Sky illumination experiment

[Kerry Banke]

I hadn't thought about the RF excited tube approach. Haven't done that in 
many years. I don't know if I even have enough TX power available on any 
band to really light up two 40w bulbs.  I suspect we would could go a lot 
further with the RF leakage that with the light scatter unless the bulbs 
were  RF shielded as well:) Interesting thought though. There are always a 
number of ways to get the job done depending on what equipment is most 
easily available.
