Hi Lou,
I'm always fighting interferences of one kind or another around here too. 
But, I'm not giving up on HF radio.  Every time I buy a new electronic 
gizmo, the new switching power plug presents me with another weak birdie, 
Fortunately,  the birdies and other interference noises are usually just 
weak background noise here and I do hope that it stays that way!

Hi.

After doing some looking around on the HF bands, I came to a sudden
realization that trying to get a quiet receiver on these bands is
pointless.  Regardless of how good my receiver is, I live in a city, and
generally mostly what I am hearing all over the HF spectrum is Part 15
devices.  In theory, I have the right to be free from interference by these
devices, but any urban dweller probably knows that they win by their sheer
numbers because it is impossible to track all of them down.  I am finding
that the MW and HF spectrum is ruled by computer hash, miscellaneous
digital clock pulses, and video garbage, sometimes registering up to S9+220
DB, and generally not less than S7.

I came to the conclusion after looking over the situation that I'm not
spending one more dime on anything below 50 MHz.
