[RFI] TV RFI

[N6KJ]

I have almost the exact same problem when running either 40M or 80M.
Let me guess...the color blanks and the tv changes to "black-and-white"
during keydown.  I suspect that RF is getting into the color sync circuitry.
I was able to reduce it significantly by moving my antennas farther away
from the TV and by adding Mix 77 ferrites to all wires entering the TV.
I could eliminate it totally if I were to move my antennas even farther away,
but at this point it's nearly gone.  I recommend that you follow similar
corrective action.  Don't tell me you have a Mitsubishi :-)
