Suggestions to improve the page are most welcome. But please post them to the
RFI-General discussions forum on the ARRL.org site (arrl.org/forums), or email
them directly to HQ staff, so we are certain to pick up on them.

Frank,
I must admit that no, I am not aware of any specific periodicals as you
request. However, for whatever it may be worth, I do have a few
suggestions:
1. The IEEE EMC Society has chapters around the US and around the world
that serve as resources for those EMC engineers in the areas served by the
chapters. I was an active participant in the Chicago chapter for more than
10 years and felt that it was a tremendous help to me in learning practical
day-to-day techniques and concepts for EMC design and mitigation.
You can go to the IEEE EMC-S website here: http://www.emcs.org/ You'll
find active links to local chapters on the left side of the page. There
are 2 chapters in Florida - one each in Melbourne and Niceville. I would
suggest contacting the persons listed for each chapter to learn details of
chapter meetings and what they do at those meetings. Each chapter is
different. I can tell you that the reason I got so much from the Chicago
chapter was that we not only had excellent speakers do presentations (both
from within the group and outside), but we also had "Tales from the
Trenches" sessions - where you really got the "dirty low-down" info. You
do not have to be an IEEE member to attend chapter meetings, although
membership is encouraged.
2. You have probably seen postings on this reflector from Mike Martin of
RFI Services. Mike works with various utility companies in training their
personnel for RFI-locating techniques. He did a session here in Cedar
Rapids a few years ago that was well-received, and even threw in a special
version for the local hams. Of course, there are other "from the trenches"
tales often related on this reflector, and I regard it as a valuable
information source on this topic.
3. There is an industry rag called ":Interference Technology" that is
dedicated to EMI/RFI issues, but nothing specific to tracking down RFI as
such. This is also true for several other electronic industry trade pubs,
many of which I subscribe to, and which often have EMI-related articles
within. Again, I can't say I've seen much specific to RFI hunting.
I don't know if any of the above helps, but it's what I know for now. I
don't know if you knew last year, but the 2010 IEEE EMC Symposium was held
in Ft. Lauderdale in late July. I was there and perhaps you were, too.
Also in attendance was Ed Hare, W1RFI, from ARRL, with whom I had several
interesting discussions. The Symposium locations rotate around each year
(this year having been held in Long Beach, CA), so it might be awhile
before another one is held in your area.
Best luck and many thanks for your informative postings.
73, Dale
