Since I started this thread, maybe I'll add a comment. A few years back my family stayed at the Papakea resort on Maui. All the outdoor light fixtures had been "upgraded"...perhaps they were the Na vapor lights, or off-color CFBs (they had that orangey glow). Man was the noise on AM and SW fierce, making reception of anything but AM impossible, and very disappointing as I've always loved dxing from Hawaii. That's what worries me. I'm sure there'll be many CFBs that are quiet, and some that are not...bottom line is to expect more, not less noise........Walt
