[RFI] What would you do, and what do you think of the situation?

[Joe]

Reminds me of when I moved into a tiny town of only like 200 people. Way 
out in the middle of No-where.
Only 1 Channel was able to be seen, Ch 3, and it required the largest 
mono-channel optimized gain antenna available,
and with the strongest pre-amp available. and yet the signal in most 
cases still was weak. Not a perfect picture, it had not snow so to 
speak, but a grainyness to it. And this was if you were lucky.

I lived in a two story apartment on the second floor. It was a BIG building.
With like 12 foot high ceilings! The rooms tho only went up to say 8 
feet, and there ws a suspended type ceiling to make the rooms file like 
rooms and not a cubical place like in an office.

So the whole area above that suspended ceiling was open.

It was sooo large I was able to make a loop that was almost as big as a 
full sized loop would be for 80 meters!

Si it was strung above that suspended ceiling, and I fed it with like 6 
feet of 300 ohm TV twinlead. into a Johnson KW matchbox. Rig was an OLD 
Drake TR-4.

The apartment was on the southeast corner of the town, and from my 
window in the radio room I could see probably 75% of the houses.

At night you would see all the windows aglow with that bluish light of TV's

Then if I got on the air, I 100% destroyed every TV seen! It would flash 
with my modulation and be totally un-watchable.
ALL OF THEM!

Because of the antenna being inside. No one ever knew it was me! he he he
