Re: [IRCA] QRM from Lights

["Steve" <VE7SL@xxxxxxx>]

Thank you Guy! I will make note of this and start doing some hunting. If 
something noisless was available in 1989 then hopefully something similar is 
still being manufactured. My next door neighbour has no problem with me 
swapping out the present dimmer for something quieter...she even offered to 
remove it altogether but I don't want to be too heavy-handed since she also 
has allowed me to string my 2200m three-wire flatop over the top of her 
house and property to a tree on the far side of her property :-) ...a very 
good neighbour indeed.
