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.

Damn it, Wayne, you're supposed to say that the things are awful, and
that you've bought a warehouse full of 60 watt incandescents because you
can't see with the CFL's, or some other strawman reason to not like
them!!!
