[Waverley ARS] Plasma TV Interference

[Binu VU2NGB]

Derek,

I found that some of the TVs do not have appropriate filtering in the AC 
mains. This could be the case with the set top box as well.

When I was transmitting on HF, my signals were interfering with my 
neighbour's TV.
So, what I did is, wound the TV's power cable on a 10cm long ferrite rod 
(available from Jaycar) and this solved the problem. The ferrite rod must be 
placed as close as possible to the TV.
