[Lowfer] KE and LED noise

[David L. Wilson]

When LED bulbs first came out, I did a lot of testing for different 
brands/models (now gone).  All produced interference if close enough.  I 
wrote an article for QST on the results.  They rejected the article and 
said "Do not resubmit it or a similar article to QST or any of ARRL's 
publications" and stated they would not discuss why nor give a reason. 
Totally bizarre. I later met the president of the ARRL and he was 
dumbfounded when I told him about this.  (I have been an editor and 
reviewer of an optics technical publication, rejecting more papers than 
accepting, but ARRL's behavior was extremely nonprofessional.)   A 
letter in a shortly later issue of QST years ago mentioned the need for 
research on this and QST replied that something was planned but I never 
saw anything.  (I always question why I stayed a member.)
