[RFI] AM radio RFI from 2010 Ford Escape

[doc at kd4e.com]

I had, and have again, a noisy dash switch/pot to the rear fan in
my van.  I tightened the ground and cleaned the switch and the
RFI went way down but it has returned.  It uses the wiring to
the fan as an antenna.  I need that fan so right now I just turn
it off when trying to copy a weak signal.
