Good tip -- the QRN covers everything -- 40 feet
away from the cable outlet it is not even possible
to listen to AM stations that I used to enjoy at bed time --
like KGO - 810 - which is normally HUGE here.

Of course it is one big thing in an orchestra of noise
that has been building over the years.
I have a small 2-meter Chinese made handheld that has a
little switching-power supply wall-wart that generates
a ton of similar interference.

My iPhone display creates a small wall of noise that is
audible on AM radios 10 feet away - and there are millions
of these in use.

My Drake R8 mated with Wellbrook loop antennas on my balcony
are now paper-weights with an S9 digi-buzz across the entire
dial.

Time to move away from this area I think.
