Anyone have experience with RFI from a Plasma TV?  I recently started having garbage interference on 160 .... loud broad buzz around 1812-1813 khz and further up the band every 10 khz or so .... i DF'd the source to a neighbor's house (closest one to many of my Beverages) and got permission to walk around the outside of house to confirm it was coming from there ... owner wasn't home but grandson said only thing new recently was a Plasma TV .... I plan to return when the homeowner is there and seek his cooperation in solving this problem. Will common mode chokes (ferrite or otherwise) help with this or is it transmitted directly from the big screen? ... I found some discussion on these on the RFI reflector but no solutions. ....73/Jon AA1K
