RFI on 160 meters at WD8DSB from Xmas Tree Lights located 0.22 miles away. The Xmas tree was a small indoor tree located on the second floor of the home.
Note: in the video when you see the SDR display when we turned the breaker on we were using an approximate 12 inch diameter untuned loop sitting in the middle of the garage, and not the small sniffing loop at the panel box.

    Fascinating. I have a similar situation about 600 feet from me, that involves timed lights engaging at sunset (the perfect time to be on 160 meters) and staying on all night (hindering my 160 experience, to say the least). I will probably offer to donate one of my linear, filtered (non-noisy) power supplies if this is the culprit. That and buy them a holiday gift for being cooperative!! Great video - might have given me the hope and motivation to address this multi year issue. I often wonder if they are ever curious why their AM radio reception is filled with static!!
