[Elecraft] Plasma TV Noise any ideas on how to filter it out. [Moderator's note]

[S Sacco]

Loved my K3 on 160M this contest weekend.

Obviously, "160M" and "QRN" go hand in hand, and there was plenty of
it, mostly thanks to my local power company.  I did notice, on my
awesome P3, a pronounced, gently-shaped rise in noise just below 1.8
MHz.  It was 20-30dB louder than the average -115dB noise level.  Sure
glad it wasn't in-band.

EMI problems are everywhere.  Maybe someone can help the EPA:

EPA Needs Help with EMI Problem

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has posted a request for
quote on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) Web site looking to
purchase an Electromagnetic Field Compensation System.  The agency
says the system is needed for the suppression of EMI which is limiting
the use of a newly purchased scanning electron microscope.  To read
the solicitation and learn more about this opportunity visit the FBO
web site.
