[IRCA] OT light bulbs
I have always liked DXing in the winter time, besides the enhanced DX opportunities I like the heat given off by my old boatanchors. Nothing like listening to a central american AM station with a 26 tube R-390A under a lamp with a 60 watt incandescent bulb in it! Call the environmental police! haha! I used to listen to RJR with an HRO-60 and along with the reggae music I really felt like I was in Jamacia.

> Good observation. An incandescent light bulb does have striking similarities to those vacuum tubes from years gone by. They say that much of the energy given off by classic bulbs is wasted as heat. On the other hand, many folks who use the LED lights complain of headaches from the brightness. ms
