If 2x5 watt ERP radios can do that the stations still on the air should come in strong. I give this about 2 posts before someone goes off topic. Second, I have to mention that those el-cheapo CFL's that Wal-mart is selling have one hell of an RFI output. I thought my radio had gone down when I thought to turn off all the CFL's in my house and it got listen-able. I have an oscilloscope monitoring the audio and the noise spikes are at 60 Hz and very consistent. I think that if someone wanted to get into their radio it would be a small matter to put a line synced blank pulse when needed. Anyone? No politics. Bill Baka CFLs do not operate at 60 Hz.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Interesting topic. Good find on the compact lights. Regarding listening to shortwave from Michigan, North Korea english service has been pretty good, s7 on 11.735 at 9 pm est. Always bizarre talk there!
