Well, Bob, at least I know I'm not alone now!  (grin)

One really has to wonder what kind of filtering (or non-filtering)
circuitry) is in TV's these days.

Just for the record, the XYL is gone this week-end, so I'll be playing a bit
in  the ARRL international DX SSB contest,     and participating in the
17-meter blind hams net on Sunday.  Just to be prepared, the tv is now
unplugged!
