>I just key up 1,500 watts on 40 or 75 Meters on my ham rig into the fan dipole and watch the fun begin!<

I used to have a friend whose guitar amp would get hijacked by some yahoo a couple of streets over running a radio. It drove him crazy.

Back in the days of the dirty transmit CB's I could do that too, it was easy. LOL!

Used to key up a 4 watt Cobra 142GTL on a nine foot whip on my roof and take out TV's for a block or so. Those old CB's were great for that. Fortunately the move to Digital TV has eliminated that. Now it's cheap Chinese baby monitors, cheap computer speakers and other cheap/non-shielded devices that catch all kinds of interference.

The funny thing was, once the tower and antenna's went up I got blamed for every tiny bit of interference people were getting. In the overwhelming majority of cases, many of those complaints were for times I wasn't even home. LOL!!
