8. Are you concerned with the possibility of cheap electronics in CFL
ballasts interfering with your radio gear?

Doesn't seem to be an issue. I use my SSB radio almost every day and
it is more sensitive to RFI than most things. I have a battery
charger made by a well respected marine electronics company that is
far worse. The GPS units and VHF radio seem almost impervious to
anything. I have noticed that the microwave oven knocks out my WiFi
repeater however.
