[amsat-bb] The end of daytime HF?

[Tony]

All:

I have an ongoing RFI case with the solar panel manufacturer, Solar 
Edge. Their field engineer, Tom Simpson, has handled many RFI cases in 
the past so they are aware of the problem.

My case is on schedule for repair and Tom assures me that the RFI will 
be negligible once the proper RFI suppression methods are installed. The 
RFI emanates from a neighbors solar panel system about 150 feet from my 
home.

In my case, the noise began the day the system was installed so finding 
the source was easy. Knowing who the manufacturer was helped get the 
ball rolling. If that's not possible, file a complaint with the FCC and 
be persistent. Mike Gruber of the ARRL can assist: mgruber at arrl.org

Tony-Brock Fishers April 2016 QST article "Can Home Solar Power and 
Amateur Radio Coexist?” may help those who purchased a home system. He 
writes about Solar Edge products and the RFI suppression methods he used.

By the way, the noise has shown itself on VHF as well so it's not just HF.
