Completely agree.  Next door neighbors have a large plasma inside their 
family room about 75 feet from my shack and more than 125 feet from the 
antenna.  I can watch them turn it on and instantly I have a horrible FM 
frequency varying noise, S2 to S9 about every 15 kc's from 80 through 10 
meters...and they would have to be in the North direction of course.  Gawd 
awful!  Don't know how these can ever pass testing standards.
