NEON- Re: $200 induction heater

Dear John and Morgan, 
really can't believe that this is heavy-duty stuff and will withstand 
commercial daily use for months or years. 

Morgan, you're asking why Dirk's has been so expensive:
In the old world (Germany as well as in the Netherlands) all,
I repeat ALL, high frequency equipment using more than 30 kc 
MUST be approved by the national postal commision, like the FCC in the U.S.

This label is so expensive, or the companies make a lot of money out of it. 
This was the reason why I was asking for experience in using 
ham radio equipment for external bombarding. As ham radio operator, nothing 
has to be approved and you may use it, everything is experimental...

Thus nobody has tried it yet, I will do as soon as I have put my moving 
chaos at home slightly back into usable state. I'll report here on this. 

Marcus
