I recently installed a CO alarm (required by code) and I observed a
sensitivity to 40m transmissions.  It only occurs when I am about around
50W... the alarm goes off for a few seconds.  My antenna (dipole cut for 80m
with a tuner) is on the outside of the house right now, but I have plans to
move it out to the trees someday.  Since the alarm is the plug-in type, it
won't be easy to install an AC rated cap across the line (although I guess I
can put it in the outlet box).   

I have two solutions for this problem at the moment:

1) Only work 40m when the XYL is not home
2) Eventually get the antenna away from the house.
