>There's a reason that they (Plasma TV's) have been banned in the EU zone...
I didn't know that. I wish they'd ban them in Canada.
I had a neighbour 2 years ago who bought a plasma TV - drove me crazy on
160 through 30 meters. They moved away a year later :-)

But wait, there's more - a new one appeared on the other side of me about 2
months ago - same old QRM problem.
I'll dig out my ANC-4, string up a noise antenna and cross my fingers.

>... a transmission at high power on or about 14.3MHz does wonders...
I tried high power on 160m in the first instance (on the freq. where I had
the loudest QRM), but it didn't seem to make any difference. I'll give it
another go on 14.3 and report my success (if any).
Any further hints gratefully received.

I only have an old CRT TV that I haven't turned on in 12 years. Radio rules!
