Although I get into some of our local entertainment junk a very little bit on 
some frequencies, I have suppressed most of it. It isn't all that hard.

I did notice the other day that our paper shredder, which is plugged into an 
outlet about 10 feet from my rig, will start up as if it has had a sheet of paper 
put in it when I key my rig on some 40 meter frequencies. Interesting...

I suppose I should check my shack ground system...
