Hello, Many thanks to Mike at RFI Services for the helpful hints he provided to me in locating the noise that was wiping out both 30 and 40 meters. I used the find and attenuate method, starting at m
I have taken out this style of undercounter lighting from the house I just purchased. The power supply converting the 120 vac to 12 vdc functions at 20 khz. This generated HF pulse is being accentuat
Hi, Does anyone have a location for a handout explaining to the creator of the RF noise, that he needs to correct it? My neighbor may not take the hint from the nice way... ==END CUT== -- ___________

Dave, Although this issue is still best handled diplomatically as neighbors, you may want to be armed with multiple FCC enforcement letters that address similar interference complaints between hams a
Eddy: My lights do not use a touch pad. They have two settings via a simple toggle switch .... Bright and Less Bright. All the switch does is to switch a diode into series with the AC and "half-wave"
