Hi Bruce,

Don't worry about being wordy, I am also wordy.

Sorry, I forgot to recommend a test with a good radio. If the "test radio" was a portable transistor type with a ferrite core antenna and you could not receive stations, then yes, you really, really have interference. Between the self-reporting what-hour meters in use now, all the computer, switching power supplies, LED and CFL bulbs, etc., AM is now a total nightmare. This is one reason why the big 3 Auto makers want to stop putting AM reception on their radios, especially in hybrid and electric cars.
