Wayne.. Good info...Thanks.... Hmmm.. the heatsink base of this 40 watt bulb also gets too hot to touch and feels like more than 40 watts also.

I even disconnected the shield on the RX input this morning and still don't hear anything. Wayne, N7NG p.s. That 75 watt equivalent lamp seems to put out MORE than 60 watts of heat. It really gets hot. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim F.

I bought two LED 40 watt equivalent 110V. light bulbs from Home Depot that use only 9 watts of power, for $9.99 ea. They seemed like a good deal but cause noise interference on 160m and the FM radio band. (I did not try other bands.) I like the bulbs but best use them away from your radio station and have someone turn them off and on while monitoring your favorite frequencies/bands. 73, jim / W1FMR _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ UR RST IS ... ... ..9 QSB QSB - hw?
