Re: [IRCA] CFB (Compact Florescent Blubs)

[Walter Salmaniw <salmaniw@xxxxxxx>]

Haven't noticed anything on the list, but the Government of Canada has introduced legislation to eliminate sales of incandescent light bulbs by the year 2012.  I'm sure this won't help the world of dxing, especially if there's a flood of cheap noisy bulbs.  This has already caused a certain amount of controversy with the admission that there are small amounts of mercury in these CFBs, but "no more than found in a watch battery".  This was all done for energy conservation measures and is supposed to cut green house gas emissions by one or two percent.......Walt Salmaniw, Victoria.
