When my neighbors turn their TVs on, I have to turn off my shortwave
radio because I get a terrible buzzing interference over most of the
shortwave band. I can't hear a thing. I also get a similar problem
when my wife turns on a florescent light in the kitchen. Is there
anyway to reduce or eliminate this kind of interference?

Simple things first. If your receiver doesn't have a polarized ac plug,
try turning it around -- sometimes that can make a difference. especially
if it is coming through the ac lines.

Hope this helps -- its quick and simple.
