I live in a tract neighborhood.  Everybody pretty much goes about their own business, and neighbors typically don't know each other or interact much.

Several months ago, a loud 24/7 RFI source started up in my immediate neighbor's house.  I set up a noise sensing loop and preamp on my side of the wall, and my MFJ Noise Cancelling**boxes are fairly effective at doing at least a partial null.  This past weekend, the noise disappeared from Friday until late Sunday afternoon, and it was wonderful seeing my Panadapters displaying bright waterfall signals on a dark blue background!  It made me realize how much I have been missing.

My real question is how can I tactfully approach the neighbors to see if they will cooperate on solving the problem?  I am willing to pay for fixing or replacing the device, but I am not a master of diplomacy, and I afraid to have the door slammed in my face.  I am open to suggestions on the best way to approach this.

Thanks in advance.
