I have about 7 kw of solar installed here Walt, with almost no interference issues. But no charge controllers are used and the inverters are actually APC brand UPS's.
And I also have some Dlink PowerLine extenders (DHP-306av) in use, one circuit passes within a few feet of the Wellbrook loop and causes no issues at all. I have a potential 200 home subdivision planned on my northern boundary (I see some survey stakes already in place) so I'm not looking forward to that - on so many levels. 73 Don On Sun, Jan 29, 2017 at 2:37 PM, Walter Salmaniw <can...@gmail.com> wrote: > Colin, I've thought about solar arrays, too, both in Victoria and in > Masset, but the RFI risks are simply too great, especially for Masset.

Won't they just pick up and amplify the noise even more??? 73, > Walt > _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
