noticed it was in time with my CELL PHONE CHARGER !!!!
most likely the camera charger and others have the same RFI generation.....
something worth checking anyway.
Check for notorious sources -- bed warmers in water beds, pool / jacuzzi
water warmers (especially bad when it's your neighbors); damned new Halloween
lights with large clear plastic spheres with blowers and little plastic "bats"
- the static noise can be very bad; electrostatic air cleaners; low voltage
indoor lights - especially kitchen undercabinet lights - these now all use
miniature "electronic transformers" aka switching power supplies. And Im sure
the list grows ...
