[BTW, the Breezeshooters contest referred to is the annual groundwave 10 meter contest sponsored by the local 10 meter group (who preceed 10-10 by, oh, about 15-20 years or so, but I digress). It used to be on Thanksgiving weekend, it's now split into a CW night (last month) and SSB night (last night)] 73, ron wn3vaw -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 7:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [N3SH] RFI issues with the neighbors Ok, so I'm now the designated "Channel Master" in my neighborhood. I dusted off the HF rig and actually operated for several hours last night in the Breezeshooters 10m contest. All was well until.. my backyard neighbor stopped over tonight to ask me if I was on the air last night from say, 7 until midnight. I told her I was, and then she described her daughter's "touch lamp" going on and off, and my melodious voice coming over her computer speakers. My station grounding is questionable, at best so I know I'll have to address that. Does anyone have any recommendations for filters/chokes to put on my neighbor's appliances to alleviate the interference? My only experience like this was a few years ago with a cheapie cordless phone, and a couple of snap-on chokes from the Rat-Shack did the trick. BTW- I was operating 100w SSB into my trusty Cushcraft R-5 vertical. de Steve, W3SRL Gravity. It's not just a good idea, it's the law!
