Amen, Eddie! I can testify that it's not just a midwestern phenomenon. I
had several neighbors in our townhouse neighborhood in suburban Washington
DC whose reaction to RFI from me was "well, I didn't want to bother you,
and it was only a few weekends a year!"
One real eye-opener came a few years ago when I had RFI in the houses of
some neighbors I didn't know -- only it was the other way around, stuff in
their house affecting my search for 5BDXCC. I was amazed by how open,
hospitable and helpful they were when I showed up on their doorstep with my
portable receiver and showed them what was happening.
