[TowerTalk] RFI resolution

[David Cook]

Thanks Roger, that's seems like very good advice to me. My neighbor doesn't
care to have me in her house "inspecting" her home, and I don't particularly
want to see it either. Who knows, maybe Norman Bates lives in her attic.

So who might these "professionals" be? It would be nice to have someone do
the work while I'm here at the shack to key the mic for tests.

Another thing, for the group, as far as I've determined so far this is a
problem with only this one piece of gear - her sub-woofer. I haven't done
anthing to any of the neighbors' equipment, so I don't think it's stray RF
on my end. In fact, it only happens when I point the beam directly at my
neighbor's house. I can run a full kilowatt with the beam pointed in any
other direction and she doesn't hear a peep out of her sub-woofer. Just
wanted to make that clear to some who suggested stray RF.

Thanks for all the great responses on this somewhat off-topic question.
Thanks for the suggestions to keep a log, I've started one now. And if I
don't make some headway soon, I'll send a formal letter to her, for the
record, about the situation. Should I cc: the FCC?

73, Dave, WAOTTN
