Not much help for those of us who want to go on the radio while the wife
watches dross on TV. I just read in the EMC column in RadCom that mains
borne interference is radiated best on the frequency at which the antenna
cable is a quarter wave. That explains why my interference is worst on 20m,
since 16ft 6in is just about the length of the run of cable from ground
level to the typical mounting height of the satellite dish.

I just live in dread of the day when a neighbour installs solar panels. From
the same mag one ham experienced S9+ interference from a neighbouring estate
and after a year's investigation Ofcom informed him there was nothing they
could do about it.
