just wondering i bought a 120vac halogen lamp(no transformer) do these
bulbs typically put out 'rf' that would interfere w/either my hf rig or
my hf/uhf??


If it's a dimmable lamp (triac-type dimmer) it could quite easily put
out RF hash which might interfere with HF operations.

If it's non-dimmable, I think it's no more likely than an ordinary
incandescent fixture to emit RFI.

Dimming a halogen bulb is a bad idea, really - it can greatly shorten
the life, because the tungsten/halogen scavenging cycle doesn't work
well (or at all) at lower filament temperatures.
