This whole thread on grow light RFI scares the hell out of me. If this is an illegal growing operation why would you want to confront your neighbor with knowledge that you know about their illegal ac
Good point, Gary, and I completely agree. Hams need to be extremely cautious when approaching neighbors over any RFI situation, especially any that may be doing indoor gardening. Some of these people
Gary, You make a good point. So far most the growers I have found have been students and they have not been confrontational. I have been very careful to point out that I do not care what they are gro
