Hello again - Thanks for all the responses ! I talked with an EE at work and
he said just about the same thing.

I have decided to keep the microwave oven. For $33 dollars where can you
find a 600 watt 2.7 gig source ??? - I have already taken out the good parts
and are drilling and tappin them into a slab of aluminum. Lots of
experiments are planned !!! I feel like the mad scientist in a really bad
movie!

But I'm not the only one - check out this link from scientists in Israel who
claimed to have an instrument made from a microwave oven than can produce
balls of lightning.

Jeeze - I have already done this (many times - some even on purpose HI HI)
and I guess many of you have as well. It's called RF arcing. Still its bad
form in science these days to let a little thing like facts get in the
way.... after all these guys have PhD's and we hams... well...

As for me - I'm gonna create a web site showing all my mad experiments...

So when will the ARRL have a mad scientist section in the handbook??

Thanks all - Biz WDØHCO
