[Amps] QRO Questions

[Jim Barber]

Many years and several moves ago our next-door neighbor's bedroom 
overhead (incandescent) light used to modulate with my QRO 75m SSB signal.

I re-oriented my 75m inverted-vee from N-S to E-W and the problem went 
away. The only thing I could think of at the time was that the wiring in 
his bedroom must've accidentally been resonant on 75m in order to couple 
enough power to flicker a 60W bulb.

He didn't, BTW immediately make the association between my amateur 
operations and the flickering bulb. Even after he did, he began the 
conversation by asking "do you use that stuff late at night?" - 
questions like that. I think he was more than a bit freaked out at the time.
