[SADXA] RFI PROBLEM

[Darrel]

My first reaction is :  "How did you get TEP to come and investigate the 
RFI in the first place?"

Do  you remember the article in QST a year or two ago, about fixing RFI 
from solar panels?   The main problem, if I remember, was the inverters 
associated with individual panels.

I have avoided having solar panels installed at my QTH  for this very 
reason - everything I've heard suggests that they are very, very bad news.

            Good luck,
                cheers,
                    Darrel, aa7fv.
