[TenTec] is this an rf leakage problem??

[Charles Nagel]

Lot's of appliances have solid state circuits (capacitive/inductive) in one
form or another that may store RF energy for a time when exposed to strong
RF fields. When I ran my balanced line too close to the washing machine on
its way outside a nearby window, RF energy apparently was induced into the
solid state circuitry of the machine where it remained until eventually the
energy decayed which just happened to coincide with my attempt to use the
machine or my calling the repair shop. Stray RF can cause some computers to
lock up when exposed to RF fields that are too intense and I have heard even
some cars' computers malfunction in the presence of strong RF fields. The
best source I know that explains this stuff is the ARRL Handbook.

How is it residual?  Please explain. Thanks.

Be very, very careful what you put into that head, 
because you will never, ever get it out.
