Subject: [IRCA] One for the RFI win column - improving ones radio love life.


We have been in our new house for just over a year - it is the result of
over
10 years of saving and searching for the perfect place --

Perfect in that it
is town and country, has underground utilities,
does not have any industry near
by and is quiet electrically.

What I discovered after moving in is that there
was a neighbour
using BPL network devices which delivered quite the clatter all
over the
bands.
I had no idea which neighbour this could be - and when you
think about it,
it could be anyone within 1/2 km or so.

Anyway - I started
by e-mailing my 1st neighbour that was in the path of
the radio interference.
He replied almost immediately and said, "Yea, I use
a BPL device to reach a
part of my house that my wireless network does not
reach - but I am rarely in
there so I will turn it off and let's see what
happens!"

He switched it off
and the problem vanished. Yay! Problem solved!

It's not every day that things
turn out this way.

One for the good guys!

Good DX all.
