[RFI] Arc-fault breakers

[Joe]

My Wife has a hair drier with one of those things embedded in the power 
plug. It is the size of a small wall wart. BUT... While it may be small, 
It it LOUD!

Only 40 meters effects it. But when I transmit on 40 you cant say it 
clicks, yes it is a "Click" type of sound.  But it is sooo loud and 
aggressive, it literally shakes the WALL! The thing is all the way on 
the other side of the house, and if I forget to go and unplug the hair 
drier before operating on 40 meters, I can hear it clicking away even 
when I am wearing headphones!
