Topband: MY INTERFERENCE PROBLEM

[Mr. and Mrs. Magoo]

Thanks to all who responded to  my request for help on the intermittent 
noise problem.  Many suggested a bad streetlight, and that appears to be the 
cause.

I went out at dusk the other evening and located FIVE streetlights doing 
exactly the same thing: four sodium lights in the nearby village and one 
mercury vapour within 1/2 km of my home.  While they are on, a particular 
light produces no noise when parked underneath, but when off and attempting 
to turn on noise appears.  The problem is-with five bad lights all within a 
couple of km there is almost always noise until daylight comes and the light 
sensors kick in, turning off power to the ballasts.  Suddenly the band goes 
deathly quiet!

Again, thanks.
