Dave,
Back in the day when I was having a lot of grow light RFI, I found the
best way to approach a person was to knock on the door and then back
away. Explain the situation and you might mention that the RFI could be
a fire hazard, and you would be happy to look into it.

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.
