[Elecraft] (Very OT)Plasma TV noise

[Steve Ellington]

Chris
Take a transistor AM radio to Wal-Mart and walk past the TV sets. When you 
get near a plasma you will hear it. The LCDs are fairly quiet. Plasma set 
noise comes right off the screen and is strong enough to be heard for some 
distance. The only cure is to unplug the TV. They even radiate some when 
turned off!
I believe my neighbor has a Plasma set. It wipes out 80 meters mostly. I 
plan to find out soon and if necessary I'll help him replace it. 73
