The power is pulsed to the lights when the dimmer is between off and full on. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Go to a park away from all the "noise". Dimmers, fluorescent lights,
AC lines. and so many things we don't know could affect reception.........Good Luck........Dave, again-----------PS. be thankful your in LA it's snow here in St. Louis. tom k in L.A. wrote: hombres, we have dimmers up the ying yang in this house. lutron maestro's plus radio ra. oy vey. is my shortwave hobby doomed?

i went out to the edge of our yard and reception was fine-- the
bzzzzzzhmmmmmmmmm decreased as distance from the house increased. can this be fixed with an external antenna mounted sufficiently away from the house, but with an ultra-shielded lead-in cable to the house? |

Yes . . . take your radio outside, truck it around in the yard, find the best reception area, put up an antenna there. then put in a nice shielded co-ax into your house, shielding the whole thing. Duct tape is actually a fairly good shield, BTW . .. |

She wasn't impressed. http://www.muncie.k12.in.us/garfweb/...20tape%203.JPG Perhaps you meant the aluminium foil stuff which goes by some other name? http://www.infraredheaters.com/images/at-1x2.jpg mike |
