I reward companies that make RFI-friendly products and punish those that
don't. Always have lived by that dictum. I also try at every turn to educate
my neighbors to the same, so that we can all have as quiet an RF environment
as possible. Hence, my purpose in posting the original post here.

Absolutely, to everything in your post! The data is much appreciated
.... one thing I am still searching out is a transparent shield for the
tubes themselves; I have considered a shield made of screen but have
not acted on it (lazy/other-things-to-do.) I suspect rfi is using the
plasma discharge in the tube itself as some type of inefficient antenna,
as I have all shielded electronic ballasts ...

In addition, got any ideas he

What do you do about wifi switches/routers/wireless-nics/etc?

It seems, to me, the frequencies which the Ghz signal(s) are modulated
at, by the data stream of bits, is/are the real offender(s)? Other than
the strategic placement of these devices and directional antennas, I
have found little control over the RFI. I have found this to be a
problem on AM/FM/SW/VHF/SHF; I have noticed, some devices/brand-names
are less offensive than others ... I am, mostly all, Linksys with a
couple of NetGear nics ...

Any ideas from anyone would be appreciated here ... and yes, any
hard-cabling/power has been well choked with ferrite beads and filtered
power-strips ...

I am asking because I have noticed, a person working to cure one form of
RFI will, most likely, be working on "next one", next ... :-)
