Even better -- mount it in a gallon paint can, with a good RF

You're about two days late with that suggestion, Don G.

I must have missed that.

Remember the Heath "CanTenna"?

Certainly -- that was what I thought I was describing -- and I
thought that I actually mentioned thst by name and/or company, too.
(Perhaps in another branch of the thread.)

At up to 10M, the light bulb works as an OK load, if not completely
'tunable' Add one small air-wound coil and a few puffs of capacitance,
and it can tune darned well.

O.K. I was wondering what frequency range a light bulb would
work for.

Enjoy,
DoN.
