About 20 years ago when I started my first trek on 160M my daughter had one of these lamps. It destroyed TB and yes it even turned on and off when I transmitted. I never told her what I suspected and one day she asked me to look at it.. I decided it must be defective and bought her a brand new high intensity lamp to read by and she was very happy.. Needless to say I took the lamp out back when she was not around and took a baseball bat to it.. Never had the problem again..
Now I suspect your neighbor might be adversed to your taking a baseball bat to it so some tact is necessary.. Suggest the lamp is a problem and cant be fixed and maybe they will purchase a new one that is NOT RF actuated. http://www.qsl.net/wa3mej/index.htm ----- Original Message ----- Message: 4 Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2013 22:24:02 +0100 From: Martin <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Topband: Problem with Sensor Lamps Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Topbanders, A fellow ham has a problem with noise on 160m. The band is unusable due to noise peaking 9+20 24/7. I think the source is a sensor lamp in his neighbours house. The neighbour complained about the lamp switching on and off when Lutz transmits . I know this has been discussed here, please push me in the right direction. Thanks.
