Thanks for the info. Inquiring minds like to know. 

My friend had wide band noise on several HF bands and 28 MHz was worst. Tracked 
down to digital LCD display on their high end stove. Company sent a new 
connecting cable which passed through a ferrite ring. No idea what mix and not 
multiple passes. I used a pin extractor to take one end apart and used a mix31 
and got it wrapped 4 times (most I could do and have cable reach. Knocked the 
noise from s9+20 to s5.

My neighbor bought a new washing machine about 3 or 4 years ago. Very 
distinctive pattern on waterfall on 40 when it started. I am not sociable with 
them since they wrote the town that I installed an illegal tower when I put up 
a ground mounted GAP vertical. I just put up with it but could tell what day 
was laundry day. Then one day it just stopped. Maybe with their family of four 
kids it broke and they got something different?

73 , back in to lurking mode. Learn a lot from reading the emails on the list. 
One of the most informative lists on the Internet.
