Re: [IRCA] QRM from lights



I have no noise from the 120VAC ones...just the low voltage switching power supplied ones.



Halogen lamps are very noisy.  I stayed with a relative several years ago,
and from the opposite end of a huge house, I knew immediately when she
turned on her reading light. My radio reception was destroyed immediately.
Halogen or AM DX.....pick one.

Just had some halogen track lights installed at the Burnt River DX site.
They're billed as "LED compatible, for what that's worth, and it's also
labeled as a 2-wire track system. System is on a dimmer that never
previously caused problems when it was either off or set to full
brightness. But this new system is creating a terrible buzz on AM that only
goes away when I turn them off. The noise carries a fair ways - beyond
where my coax goes to the external antenna. Any thoughts, recommendations
or such?
