ARRL RFI book and web info include information on light dimmers, which are
a well-known source of interferencece -- especially on 80 & 160 meters. See
http://www.arrl.org/touch-lamp, at bottom of page re"Light-dimmer
Interference Reduction"

Also:  https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocumentLibrary/360484.pdf

Good Luck.
