Topband: Topband Digest, Vol 121, Issue 19

[wa3mej at comcast.net]

About 20 years ago when I started my first trek on 160M  my daughter had one of these lamps. It destroyed TB and yes it even turned on and off when I transmitted. I never told her what I suspected and one day she asked me to look at it.. I decided it must be defective and bought her a brand new high intensity lamp to read by and she was very happy.. Needless to say I took the lamp out back when she was not around and took a baseball bat to it.. Never had the problem again.. 



Now I suspect your neighbor might be adversed to your taking a baseball bat to it so some tact is necessary.. Suggest the lamp is a problem and cant be fixed and maybe they will purchase a new one that is NOT RF actuated.

Topbanders, 

A fellow ham has a problem with noise on 160m. The band is unusable due 
to noise peaking 9+20 24/7.  I think the source is a sensor lamp in his 
neighbours house. The neighbour complained about the lamp switching on 
and off when Lutz transmits . 
I know this has been discussed here, please push me in the right direction. 

Thanks. 

Martin, DM4iM
