Re: [IRCA] QRM from lights

[Mike Hawkins <michael.d.hawkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

Halogen lamps are very noisy.  I stayed with a relative several years ago,
and from the opposite end of a huge house, I knew immediately when she
turned on her reading light.  My radio reception was destroyed immediately.
 Halogen or AM DX.....pick one.
