[AMRadio] Strange interference

[SBJohnston at aol.com]

The cases of raspy or otherwise modulated, periodically-spaced interference 
up thru the HF spectrum that I've tracked were caused by either computers, 
monitors, or other equipment with *switching* power supplies.  The supplies were 
the culprit...  

Touch-control lights can also cause similar harmonically-related signals but 
the ones I've hunted were unstable unmodulated carriers.

I've noticed that more and more of the "wall-wart" AC adapter supplies coming 
out now are little switchers and make a lot of racket in the HF bands.
