"2. The amount of RF energy around now is HUGE compared with the '60s and '70s. Now you've got a zillion cell phones, wireless web networks, remote controls, switching power supplies, etc., that the original designer had no knowledge of and are now bombarding the vintage gear."
I know, my basement workshop is a nightmare. I hear a strange frequency between stations on my 800c, and it makes it difficult to align. It also cuts the stereo reception. I cannot figure out exactly where it is coming from short of short of cutting every component off in the house. I live under a victor airway, and also the house elevation is fairly high compared to the surrounding area. It sounds like a motorized high frequency with a strange phase warp. Two computers, belkin wireless, external hard drives, cordless phone, two modems in the house - they are supposed to follow class restrictions, no?
