Greetings all,
am looking for some advise in dealing with a nasty interference source I've
come across. Recently we moved into a new development in which many of the
homes (including ours) employ no-name halogen track lighting in the kitchen
and various other spots in the houses. I have found that the 115/12v
integrated power supply on each of these lights produce a wide band hash
which virtually wipes out the 40m band on my vertical. Unfortunately both my
neighbours on either side have identical lighting arrangements which produce
hellacious noise for me on 80 and 40m when energized. Has anyone had
experience dealing with these noise generators? I am assuming the unshielded
PS's are the cause (possibly radiating back into the AC mains, however there
is always the possibility its the filament in the halogen light radiating. I
am curious if anyone has had success filtering or by-passing these units,
and if so by what means.
Appreciate all the help, believe me!
