Hi Dave,
I've successfully resolved a few of these RFI cases. Key to my success
was identifying another neighbor who knew the family I needed to
approach. Surely someone in your neighborhood knows the person
whose home is generating the RFI
Stranger-to-Stranger communication is awkward with all of the
divisions in society.
Good luck!

Subject: [RFI] How to approach a neighbor?
I live in a tract neighborhood. Everybody pretty much goes about their
own business, and neighbors typically don't know each other or interact
much.
Several months ago, a loud 24/7 RFI source started up in my immediate
neighbor's house. I set up a noise sensing loop and preamp on my side
of the wall, and my MFJ Noise Cancelling**boxes are fairly effective at
doing at least a partial null. This past weekend, the noise disappeared
from Friday until late Sunday afternoon, and it was wonderful seeing my
Panadapters displaying bright waterfall signals on a dark blue
background! It made me realize how much I have been missing.
My real question is how can I tactfully approach the neighbors to see if
they will cooperate on solving the problem? I am willing to pay for
fixing or replacing the device, but I am not a master of diplomacy, and
I afraid to have the door slammed in my face. I am open to suggestions
on the best way to approach this.
Thanks in advance.
