As a kid we lived next door to a guy that was a CB or maybe HAM nut. He had a big antenna on his roof. We were constantly getting interference on TV, radio, even the telephone. He gave zero shits when we talked to him about it, said it couldn't be him, etc. but it only happened when he was home and when he moved a few years later it never happened again.
- zeusk 5y agoI work on Displays and we've seen microwaves cause link failures on poorly shielded display port cables. RF interference is really fascinating.
- swixmix 5y agoThis brings up a good point. Be prepared for a situation like this. Even if your radio set up is correct, your neighbors might not know where to get help to solve interference problems. http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Technology/Neighbor_Info/Neighbor_Info.pdf http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Technology/Neighbor_Info/Neig...
