[Elecraft] HELP! XFINITY SHUT OFF INTERNET DUE TO HAM ANTENNAS

[Fred]

Circa 1958:  Neighbor and TV Repairman came to my parent's door ... 
"Your son's ham radio is interfering with my TV.  Dad: "Our son has been 
away at college for 2 years and his radio equipment is packed up in the 
closet."  Long pause ... then TV guy, "Well his wire antenna is still up 
there and it's between my customer and Mt. Wilson, and it's sucking all 
the signal out of the air."  Dad: "I'll ask him to take it down next 
time he comes home."  That didn't happen 'til maybe another year, I had 
a full time job at the local TV station at college and didn't get home 
very often.  I did finally take it down, neighbor's TV still didn't work 
well, and he still blamed me.

> When I put my tower up 25 yrs ago my next door neighbor complained of interference. I went over to his house to watch for TVI while a ham friend was at my house keying the transmitter. Suddenly a window started vibrating causing a buzzing sound. He said “See, SEE!”. Just then his wife calls out from another room “Honey, it’s just the dryer”.
