Thanks for that information, Don. So there are solar arrays that can be quiet. My concern would be that if I installed such beasts at my locations, it'd be done commercially, and I wouldn't know whether there'd be any RFI until after the fact. I'm sure the contractor would have no idea, nor

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

A fair number of carriers today, with seemingly a mix of Asians and DU, though most were pretty weak. Audio was rather limited: 1116 4BC Brisbane, AUSTRALIA Traces of song by Lionel Richie at 1435. Confirmed on webstream.. 1575VOA ThailandVery weak, with bits of talk
