He reported that my house was the source of leakage that had earlier
been
detected by their vehicle. (Oops) He asked if we had any broadcast
ingress.
(Yes) Could he fix things inside the house? (Heck yes) He spent over
an
hour reterminating some of my old stuff and running a few new pieces for
me.
That got the leakage within limits and it made the ingress go away. (Yay)

And all that in the house of (supposedly) a radio amateur?

Oh, it's even worse than that -- way worse. :-(

Yes, I'm a licensed amateur, Extra Class, even. In February, 2007, I passed
the Extra Exam on my first try without ever cracking a book. I'm a retired
engineer and I knew much of the technical stuff. I could afford some misses
on rules and still pass. I had studied for General because I wanted at
least General. I figured Extra could come later. As it worked out, "later"
was only about half an hour.

But it's even worse than that -- way worse. :-(

A major chunk of my working life was spent dealing with EMI detection and
correction. I was certified as an EMI Engineer by the National Association
of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers. I'd had to find and solve a
whole lot of "tough dogs" in my working life. I just hadn't bothered at
home. I always seemed to have something else to do.

Okay, now that I've humbled myself, you may proceed to bash me. Bashers are
requested to summarize their experience and involvement. Humor is allowed.
