Here is the problem. TV on second floor. Tower is about 5 feet away, on
the 
other side of the wall. I have had TVI issues with this TV (Sylvania 32
inch 
color) on HF but have tamed it with toroids on the cable lead in and the
power 
cord. Even with the KW.

On 50 mhz, with my 5 element yagi 30-50 feet above the TV, and the roof,

depending on how high I have it cranked up, I take the TV sound
(primary) and 
picture (not so critical) out with 2 watts. This happens when the
antenna is 
pointed directly over the house. When the antenna is at right angles to
the house, 
no TVI, even with 100 watts. This is on all channels and with cable TV.
I have 
had new cable run, quad shield, with no improvement.

I have added all kinds of toroids to both AC line and the cable with
only 
slight improvement. There is a seamless aluminum rain gutter, 30 feet
long, 
running along the roof a few feet above the TV. In the same direction as
the TVI. 
Grounding it has not helped. 

I have not tried any other TV in this spot as my other TV is to heavy to
lug 
up the stairs. Can a particular TV be so susceptible to overload that it
could 
be the problem? Anyone have a suggestion that I have not thought of ? 
Changing out the TV is an option. The XYL likes to watch the TV while
she irons. That 
is usually when the band opens. I like my shirts ironed.
