RW,

What Make and Model of Shortwave Radio ?

NOTE: Both Signal and Noise usually originate at the radio's Antenna.

So here are a few Antenna Questions:

Are you simply using the built-in WHIP Antenna,
* Simple InDoor Antenna (Active?),
* * or an External "OutSide" Antenna ?

If you are using the Whip Antenna or and InDoor Antenna then consider
upgrading to an External "OutSide" Antenna.

If you are using an External "OutSide" Antenna ?
- Is it something simple like a Random Wire (LongWire) Antenna ?
- - What type of FeedLine are you using ?
- - - Are you using a Ground ?

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?
