Gerry,

Well, I now know what is
 getting interfered with. TheSamsung tech came out and did some testing 
with the back of the TV off, with main the shack keying down with 1500W 
on 40M. He verified the problem, and it turns out that the culprit is the
 touch sensor switch circuit board. RF is getting in there and causing 
the switches to fire off. The touch sensors on this TV are along the 
bottom right side. I did not even know they were there as I use the 
remote 100% of the time…. This
 reminds me of a problem I had the last place I lived when I was causing 
my next door neighbor’s touch sensor lamps to go off in the middle of the
 night. The “fix” for now is to unplug the touch sensor board. With the board unplugged there were no RFI issues. He is going to report this to Samsung and see what they have to say….. Anyway, that is something you can try if you need to. 73;
