[RFI] My biggest fear is happening

[Mark Schoonover]

Alan,

This is what I did, brought a portable SW radio with me. The company I went
with had a nearly identical system that was ground mounted. The company rep
and I went out there and I scanned the bands - 100% quiet. We're listening
to a SW station and they broadcasted the local weather - something like 20
degrees C, clouds, etc. The rep looked at me puzzled then the station
announced itself, Radio Australia. He was shocked a radio station could go
that far.

Taking before install and after install waterfall screenshots is good. Also
grab another set well after dark too. The other option you have is ferrite
everywhere. I have a video on what I did to my previous station:

Let us know your results. I'm sure if you talk to the techs, they'll give
you brand & model information of the inverter(s).
