50Hz hum on key down on hi fi
Similar problem on mains MW radio.
Freezing of PC modem on key down.

My suggestions, in order:

1) Try wrapping the speaker leads of your hi fi around ferrite rods or toroids. If this doesn't clear it up, try wrapping the mains cord from the hi fi around a ferrite as well. Try to get as many turns as possble. The clamp-on beads are not effective at HF.

2) Treat the radio in a similar fashion.

3) Use an inline telephone filter (such as the k-com or similar) on your modem phone line. Also wrap the power wire to the modem around a ferrite.

4) Add a balun of some kind to your dipole.

There's a lot more that you can do, but this basic stuff should help.
