I know this sounds like a odd duck but,
Halgon lights such as desk top lamp at a nieghbors house is capable of doing
just that. I dont know why, perhaps since the bulbs are not line voltage the
transformer in them is chevy quialty or something worse.
I have had problems with transfomers for the doorbell as well.
And of course the lady next door Misses nose.
Good luck, Dan


It's not the doorbell transformer, it's the neon lamp inside the
button. Same with fish tank heaters. Those ****ty little neon bulbs
can create interference for a block around them.

A lamp dimmer creates all manner of bizzarre shaped harmonic-rich
pulses, they are the pits. Even if a halogen torchierre doesn't burn
down your house, it'll screw-up your reception.

I am 100% compact fluorescent lit and don't have a single dimmer
anywhere. (I do have incandescent bulbs in the fridge and stove and a
halogen trouble light behind the stereo, none of which stay on for any
length of time).
