noise on radio during the day **SOLVED**
#50

I found my interference was coming from my neighbors LED lighting and dimmers. I walked over, called my wife on speaker phone near the radio, and had him turn his lights on and off. He was shocked that his lights would bother my radios across the street. Same transformer for 3 houses, I’m doomed. Too expensive to replace all his lights. Plus every room has a dimmer. Double doomed!
