Then I'd have to crawl under the bed or sofa ,not an easy proposition
It's definetly the heating pad.See I use a GE Superradio to listen some talk
shows to help fall asleep at night and when the XYL uses her heating pad
even downstairs it causes an rfi spike.Not long lived but long enough to
annoy,alas.
To the person that mentioned touch lamps ,yes we have them too and they just
drown out am signals like .........you know how bad they can be. Thanks for
all the input fellas,this newsgroup is da bomb !
