[RFI] Noise to identify

[Charles Plunk]

Agreed Jim, thanks. I just have been fortunate to not need that 
horsepower (so far). With the 120hz gone, I am hearing some stuff 
occasionally that is likely from other homes nearby but its very 
intermittent and weak enough that a NB on low setting or ANC-4 handles 
it nicely. I cannot see myself bugging the neighbors unless it was much 
stronger.

Sitting here now without NB or ANC-4 listening to 30 meters at S1-S2 
with either doublet or vertical (makes no difference in background 
noise) with only distant T-Storm crashes :-). Been listening to some AM 
broadcast too!

Biggest thing I am considering now is going all high security wifi to 
get rid of the CAT cables which have birdies no matter what I do it 
seems. I have reduced it quite a bit but not all together. But it hardly 
seems worth the effort because mine now are not much higher in strength 
now than neighbors.

I will digest as much of your writings as I can. Thanks for sharing.
