Circa 1958: Neighbor and TV Repairman came to my parent's door ...
"Your son's ham radio is interfering with my TV. Dad: "Our son has been
away at college for 2 years and his radio equipment is packed up in the
closet." Long pause ... then TV guy, "Well his wire antenna is still up
there and it's between my customer and Mt. Wilson, and it's sucking all
the signal out of the air." Dad: "I'll ask him to take it down next
time he comes home." That didn't happen 'til maybe another year, I had
a full time job at the local TV station at college and didn't get home
very often. I did finally take it down, neighbor's TV still didn't work
well, and he still blamed me.

When I put my tower up 25 yrs ago my next door neighbor complained of
interference. I went over to his house to watch for TVI while a ham friend was
at my house keying the transmitter. Suddenly a window started vibrating causing
a buzzing sound. He said “See, SEE!”. Just then his wife calls out from another
room “Honey, it’s just the dryer”.
Never had another complaint after that. 😀
