[RFI] Samsung Computer Monitor an RFI Dog

[Dale]

Gary,

Sad to say, that unless you are successful with the application of decoupling and filtering techniques to eliminate the RFI to the TV, your best cure will be to relocate that sloper further away from the house and TV.  It sounds to me like the TV is being hammered pretty good on 160m.
