I remember back yonder in the late 1960s, early 70s.
I took an 8 foot florescent lamp and keyed up my radio and the 100 watt amp and locked it in transmit. Then I took the 8 foot lamp and held it next to my 102 inch whip. The lamp lit up full brightness. I was able to walk around 4 or 5 feet away from the antenna before the lamp would go out. It was pretty cool at night to see this 8 foot fluorescent lamp lit up as I twirled it around. People on the road stopped to find out what the hell was going on!!! Amazing what a bit of RF can do!!
