John.  How far away from the inverted V are the houses?

Ok so my neighbor claims I am coming through the speaker of their alarm system. The other neighbor claims the microvave. I am running a Yaesu 5000 150 watts to an inverted v with the apex at 85 feet fed with hardline. This only happens when I am on 80 meters, 3705 is where I was when the first call came in. So I can't figure it out nothing in my house or any other houses is effected.

Great, Wayne! That’s exactly how to turn a potentially hostile neighbor into a grateful one.

I had an instance where a neighbor  on the next road over came to  our home claiming the antennas  9 Yagi antennas on 4 towers had captured all the TV signals in our area and her TV signal  was almost just snow because of it.  I and my wife listened to her complaint    and I tried unsuccessfully  to explain  A:  TV signals  are not attracted to my antennas like a magnet  B: the  TV broadcast signals   are not near the current commercial broadcast frequency’s  ( to no avail ) I offered to come over to  there home and examine there installation.

After a trip to my home and returning with the proper tools I reconfigured and  MESS and installed the  un fastened ground  wire   at the entrance block.. WOW and  all  read  SEVEN TV’s and  one gaming console ??
