[Skimmertalk] Anybody recognize this qrm signature

That is most certainly noise from a plasma TV nearby since it looks exactly 
like what I have here. It radiates directly off the front of the screen and 
no amount of filtering will help. I have it from next door. He has a 60" 
Samsung and it really makes a mess of 80 meters. I've used the MFJ Noise 
Canceller 1026 and it will take it out but is a pain to adjust. The best 
cure is a receive only antenna as far from the source as possible.
One clue is: As the picture content changes, the noise will shift frequency. 
Take a pocket AM radio to Walmart sometime and walk past the row of TVs. Its 
very easy to spot the plasmas!
