Strange question to the group, but here goes:
Do you have experience with how many watts are needed of HF power to a high Z antenna point, for a small neon bulb to light?
Say an NE-52 ? I think those are rated 1/50 watt. They will light with static built up from getting up from a chair, if your shoes
are well insulated material. I think as an RF indicator, one wire goes to the antenna point, the other just hangs unconnected.
Altho i did see one schematic that showed besides the connection to the high Z antenna point, a wire between the two neon bulb leads. ( It occurred to me an easy answer would be, “enough voltage to give you a white burn mark on your hand”, but i’m looking
for some actual number, with wide % latitude. )
