Thanks Jim. I wasn't sure if I was crossing the line talking about 160m
RFI, but where it specifically pertained to his getting QRV on 160m, I
thought I'd toss it out there. BTW, he's using the same antenna as I.
Alpha Delta DX-A twin sloper (40/80/160m) off a 50-ish foot tower.
To me personally, it's certainly more valid a topic than loading up the
local Oak tree with a slinky wrapped around the trunk. (HI !) ;-) I don't
for a minute think there's a single soul here that'll do that, however I am
sure there are those here that would be interested in what proximity their
inverted L can be to a neighbours house.
Appreciate the link and great info. I am going to pass it onto my buddy!

You need to raise this question on the RFI reflector. Also, study my RFI
tutorial. It addresses many of the issues your friend is encountering.
http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf
Since RFI is way off topic on this reflector, and since I've gone into
considerable detail in the tutorial, I'll stop here. BTW, I also wrote
some stuff for the ARRL Handbook that includes detailed advice for
chasing problems with CATV, but the in-house RFI guys didn't like it, so
it hasn't been published. You might ask them to send it to you.
Regards,
Jim
