[Amps] rfi

[Mark Hill]

Folks,

Two examples I learned of recently:
The first, a fixed station, using his amplifier on 40 causes the 
electric shower switches itself on automatically.
Second, a mobile running only 100W on 80/40, giving a good whistle 
causes the cars electric mirrors to twitch like bunny ears!

A much older example involved the landing lights in the chap's house 
getting brighter when he was DX'ing on 160 metres.  I think he must 
have modified his Yaesu FL-2500 to ensure it complied with the UK's 
then, 10 W max DC input, licence condition for the band ;-)

Regards.

Mark.
