I've fairly much ruled out my house, since I shut every breaker off but
the one for the radio itself. Boy the interference is here with a
vengeance this morning. Always about S9, so this precludes listening to
any DX of any kind. I can't believe that manufacturers are permitted to
make equipment that creates such interference.

Our Hughes Direct TV receiver kills the 900 MHz digital cordless phone if
you get too close. It also sends out interference on 9.115 MHz,
massively. What up with that? I suspect that I will be converting back to
cable soon, if this is all Direct TV has to offer concerning the quality
of the equipment. I never had problems with my Toshiba Direct TV
Receiver. After years, it quit working and this is all I could get that
still had the enhanced Dolby Sound, with fiber optic output for the audio
signal to my receiver. I wasn't going to pay $400, so this is the TIVO
model that Direct TV offers as an introductory item for new customers or
upgraded customers to TIVO service, just $99 and a 1 Year Contract.

When I moved here 2 years ago, everything was fine, in terms of shortwave
reception. This interference is gotten out of control.

I also have a Cable Modem (which is new for me), so maybe I need to
experiment with removing the cable from the outside of the house and see
if it is bringing the interference inside.

Have you bought a new refrigerator,stove,washing machine,clothes
dryer,clock,smoke detector,flourescent lights lately that has some new
fangled electronics in the appliance(s)? Or it might be one or more of
your neighbors owns something that is causeing the interference or a
neighbors wireless computer or computer related gadget such as a
wireless computer camera.
