[Elecraft] Plasma TV Noise any ideas on how to filter it out.

[Steve Ellington]

Glad to hear it helped. I could have used one tonight on 80m!
Plasma TVs are unique. The gas pixels are triggered by high voltage. This 
means there are thousands of conductors, high voltage and high current right 
on the screen. This makes a very nice transmitter that can broadcast for 
blocks.
We should get the word out about these somehow. Plasma TVs have many 
disadvantages over the LCD types including about 50% more power consumption, 
shorter life, screen burn-in problems, weigh more, produce a huge amount of 
heat, higher electric bills etc. Newer LCD/LED models are just as good now 
but they still offer plasma TVs in the stores.
OH....I've seen a few post about concerns about XRAY radiation from plasma 
TVs. maybe health concerns would encourage folks to avoid them?
