Is this a Delta faucet? I have one two and it also will come on during a
thunderstorm. I tried using ferrite on all of the leads, and wrapping as much
as I could in tinfoil to no avail. We are no longer using the touch "feature".
I have also heard of problems with the motion or iR sensing faucets too.
Friend had a cat that jumped up onto the counter and turned on the water,

<cq-contest@contesting.com> Subject: [CQ-Contest] RFI Faucet I do a lot of
baking, so decided to purchase and install a new touch operated faucet for the
kitchen sink in the ham shack. It works great, allowing washing hands without
messing with the faucet handle. However, I recently discovered the faucet
turns on when I transmit power on 20 meters. Also, my XYL decided she wanted
one of these faucets for the main kitchen, and informed me that her faucet
behaved erratically one evening when I was operating CW on 80 meters with 800
watts.Anyone know how to shield a touch faucet? The model I have is Delta
Faucet Leland Touch Kitchen Faucet. It is powered by 6 AA batteries. The
battery pack is connected to the valve via a pair of wires about 3 feet in
length. There is also a single wire about two feet in length connecting the
valve to the faucet.Thanks for any advice.73, Keith
