There are designed to aggravate the low bands….specifically.

Only two things can be done to cure the issue:

 1. Beg for forgiveness and take the YL or XYL to the Jewelery ( this is
    only a Temporary cure).
 2. Operate the machine yourself (it can sense) and commit to do all the
    Laundry in your house for 5 years or until you get out of Ham
    Radio.  There is a sensor that is infallible and can tell when the
    Ham Licensed operator is at least 3 weeks ahead of the QRN/RFI curve.

Proceed accordingly….

The patented algorithm crosses all makes and models and there is no bypass….There is no escape.

Hi Joe,

Have you tried to do anything about the dryer? Filters? I was concerned
my clothes dryer and washing machine might do that but they apparently
don't. My poor dear wife cannot grasp operating the touch controls for
the microcontrollers in those machines. They are not LG. They are
Maytag. Maybe I am just looking  in the wrong places for the hash:) I
mostly use 80, 40, and 30 meters with some 160 and 17 meters in the mix.

I have had occasion to tame some switch mode power supplies in computers
here. It can be done.
