On the other hand, my own garage door used to open when I transmitted on
160. No code required. Ferrite cores on the wires fixed that.

Ahhh....the old garage door trick.....many many people change the code on their opener from
default.....means the default opener would open their door....back when we were younger and
less responsible, we check our opener as we’d drive by peoples houses. ( we had a
genie on the default setting) you’d be surprised how many doors you could open !!!

Great, Wayne! That’s exactly how to turn a potentially hostile neighbor into a
grateful one.

Ed, This assumption that you antenna caused interference is not an unsual
phenominum. I had an instance where a neighbor on the next road over came to our home
claiming the antennas 9 Yagi antennas on 4 towers had captured all the TV signals in our
area and her TV signal was almost just snow because of it. I and my wife listened to her
complaint and I tried unsuccessfully to explain A: TV signals are not attracted to my
antennas like a magnet B: the TV broadcast signals are not near the current commercial
broadcast frequency’s ( to no avail ) I offered to come over to there home and
examine there installation.
Apon my arrival it was at first asseratained there home was not using over
the air broadcast TV BUT Cable TV !!!!
In inspection in the basement the owner and son tried to become cable TV
distrabution engineeres. Unseccesfully IMHO
After removing not 3 but 4 3 way spliters and 8 uncompleted un crimped connectors
. After a trip to my home and returning with the proper tools I reconfigured and MESS
and installed the un fastened ground wire at the entrance block.. WOW and all
read SEVEN TV’s and one gaming console ??
Now had a acceptable siginal
This happened during the height of the 2nd Golf War and her husband was in the
service and in the Theater . As a VET prompted me to go above and beyond
GO figure

LOL....I had a similar instance....my beam is on a hazer on a 50 ft tower..I could
crank it up, and almost immediately get a call from my one neighbor about interference
to his tv, even though I wasn’t on the air.....yet I could operate with it
cranked down ( think closer to his house !) and never hear a peep from him....

Don't assume you caused the interference. Twice in the past year I have had
neighbors (over 2000 ft away from my antennas) claim I was interfering with
their TV. Both times I was out of the country...
