         Repeat of October 21 post.  Hello ARRL...anybody home?

  >Question: has anyone done RFI field testing of CFLs?  th e 60w
equivalent seems to be quiet.
The  n:vision  75 watt equivalent was *very* noisy to my ear (never
turned on a radio) when I turned it on.

          W1RFI reported preliminary results of RFI testing
in the article below, but I've been unable to find the final
test results in a web search:

                  <http://dayton.contesting.com/archives//html/RFI/2007-10/http://www.eham.net/articles/16365>http://www.eham.net/articles/16365

Does anyone know where ARRL's test results have been published?

P.S.  I recently bought a 4-pack of GE CFLs at Wal-Mart,
plugged one in and listened with my Sony 2010.  Hearing an
S9+ birdie on 1830 kHz, I immediately returned it to Wal-Mart.
