In my case my DX-20 had not yet been on the air when the neighbor across
the street complained about me wiping out his stereo system just after
my Dad helped me put up a 40m vertical up on the roof. After the
neighbor found out I did not even have my transmitter he stopped
complaining. Word got out ( my Dad?) and no one in the neighborhood ever
complained again.

When I fired up my first transmitter as a novice (a DX-20!), little did I know
it was leaking into a break in the coax cable in the attic.
I found out two days later when a ham I'd never met copied my callsign off his
TV. He looked me up in the callbook (I was a few blocks from his place),
introduced himself, and helped me find and repair the cable. I ended up with a
clean signal and a great Elmer.
But this is not the good ol' days, apparently.
