I just don't understand physics it seemsas how can there be that
much energy savings if so much heat is produced and must be dissipated?
Here in the VI when the power company increased the rates to over $40
per KWH everyone bought the cheap CFL bulbs after the energy office made
a big
Well the thought behind the Power Company encouraging conservation of energy
use was to delay or eliminate the need for additional base load generation
construction. That is the most costly thing for a utillity to have to build
is new generation.

Don't feel bad...I think I can top that.

Hello,
am glad to read and write here, on the topband reflector.
I am reading carefully, all around, and happy to share with
you a bit of my 160M happiness.
The propagation here, these days, seems reasonable,
expecially beaming to east/south east... but the band
sounds semi desert, without
I've never know of a utillity to give away power...usually when the power
flows to another utillity on the grid it is billed at a wholesale rate...I'm
not sure stock holders would allow a give away.(of course this may be
government owned generation) Certainly any excess capacity should be
The Home Depot $9.99 lamps do not emit a lot of radiation but cause
noise when located near my FM and 160m radios.
And the large heatsink located above the base gets quite hot to the touch.
I bought a new LED lamp in original packing, and had it delivered to
Ed Hare (RFI guru) at ARRL
I had previously mentioned that I have three LED lamps and hadn't noticed
any noise. Looking (listening) more closely, I have noticed noise on two of
them -- the Sylvania lamps purchased from Lowes. One of them is pretty bad.
I also mentioned that the bulbs were very hot, too hot to handle. Of

It's probably worth noting that while the LED will run on DC *at full
intensity*, many/most of the controllers dim the light using PWM so in
that case there is a square wave of varying duty cycle driving the LED.
Human eyeballs integrate the pulses and perceive the light level as
being brighter or
Hi Jim et al,
There is a third way, often overlooked.
The radiated power is rectified - at least to some degree by lousy
connections, i e aluminium fences to Al poles, which then reradiate. Look
for those sources and poor connections as well.

By the way, 160 is still open

Herb:
Is this a typo?
Here in the VI when the power company increased the rates to over $40
per KWH .
I wonder if you meant $0.40/KWH.
At $40/KWH I would guess you could not afford to run your equipment for an
entire contest!
