RTTY/SSB/CW TVI has always been a problem, however I have cleaned up
mine with toroid/shielded beads from PCS Electronics.. These are cut
for the TV bands. They also work on my phones etc. My station is about
50 feet from the main TV set with an RCA VCR with Plastic case on top of
it. My Grand kids watch cartoon tapes when I'm contesting all the time.
I use an Alpha 87A amp with 1500 watts out. Every now and then he says
he can see a line or two cross the screen when I have my antenna in a
certain direction.. When I first moved in to my present qth my CBer
neighbor (running more power than I do.) had the neighborhoods all stired
up.. I sent out post cards for a 2 block area around my house saying I was
a ham and if they had any kind of TVI problems to get in touch so I could
fix the problem, where it came from my station or not. I had about 15 calls
I fixed all problems and became a respected neighbor that could solve
this kind of problems.. :-) I haven't had a single complaint of my towers,
antennas or TVI of any kind since. I not saying this is a sure cure but I
have never seen TVI that I can't cure using the below toroids.. Address,
phone number below.. It's been a while since I ordered any but they cost
about $8.50 for 10 when I ordered then last...
