Some really strong broad band noises have been polluting the low bands =
here. I finally tracked it down to my neighbor, who has a couple of =
wall transformers powering various lights in his house. It turns out =
the transformers are generating noise like crazy. I suspect there are =
SCR devices inside, with no actual transformar at all. They are rated =
at an output of 12 volts at 60 Watts, which is a lot more current than a =
typically sized wall transformer usually puts out. Does anyone have any =
ideas or experience on how to cure this type of noise problem (short of =
building an actual fused transformer that handles the load)? Also, will =
the FCC do anything about this kind of thing if the neighbor does not =
cooperate? Will the manufacture be required to do anything by the FCC? =
