When I was a kid (well, teenager), the guy in the house that backed on to our garden installed the radio ham equivalent of Jodrell Bank on the roof of his conservatory. A huge thing on a motorised rotator.
From that moment on, we were getting TV and radio interference, clearly of a non-white noise variety. It was always at night, and always when his back upstairs bedroom light was on.
Having just got into the same kind of thing myself, I went round to politely mention it to him. And he denied having anything! At first. But then it turned out he'd been getting complaints from the local authority by disgruntled residents in a half mile radius.
When I pointed out the hardware on his roof, he changed tack and showed me his set up. And he fitted noise suppression, which improved things a bit.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
