that can happen a lot where you don't bother your own stuff but do the 
neighbors,  it's been known to happen quite a bit though it could be someone 
else so you have to check.

Ron,

If you're not bothering your own stuff, I'm surprised the neighbors
are having problems.  Do you know for certain that the problem is
coming from your station?  I've always told my neighbors to call me
at the exact time they think I'm interfering with their equipment,
and I've gotten very few calls.  When I did get a call, I was
transmitting, and I stopped, and they were happy.  Maybe I've been
lucky, but I've never had trouble with that sort of thing.  Once,
though, when I was a kid, I had a receiver that put lines onto our
TV.  I didn't understand why at the time, but now I'm pretty sure
that the receiver's local oscillator was being picked up by the TV
set.  My father kept yelling at me to turn down the power, and I kept
arguing that I wasn't transmitting.  I guess we were both right, and
both wrong.
