[RFI] "LED noise"

[David Eckhardt]

Don't feel bad, Kurt!  I have had submissions rejected by ARRL for being
"too technical".  These days, they just want pablum for publication.

If I were not a life member (thanks to my ex-wife many decades ago), I
would not pay annual dues.  But, ..........having access to this RFI site
possibly makes it all worth it.
