Bushpilot169,

I think I still have a couple of the Dummy Load Lights around here soemwhere.

I think they were good for around 5 or so watts so if you are throwing more than that the bulbs will go quick.

You could be throwing too much power to it.

Just a thought.

Hey Lon,
I've always wanted to make some type of light that you could throw up on the tower that would light up every time you key the radio up. Ever heard of anything like that?

Ok you are putting 4 watts into it but how many watts are you swinging into it.

Does it Blow if you just Dead Key and do not say anything?
