A touch lamp is a lamp usually a bedside lamp where the body of the lamp
is metal, and to switch it on at various light levels you just have to
touch the body of the lamp. Not only can they cause interference but
they are prone to come on when picking up RF from your transmission. I
hope that you are sucessful in tracking down the noise.
