Ham Radio Interference from next door neighboor

My next door neighboor has a ham radio with big power amp, ever time he talk on the radio, his voice is all over my phone, tv and my two channels system ( http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vdone&1081564573&view )I change all my phone to 2.4 GHz digital cordless phone and the RFI Interference is gone, I change my tv to HDTV and Interference is also gone, I try everything on my my two channels tube system, (power cord rfi filter, power conditioner, Dedicated AC with good ground) it will not do a think, his voice is still all over my Carver Al-III when he talk. Is there a way to filter out the ham radio RFI??? Please Help.

My two channel System:
Shanling CD-T100C CD Player
Audio Experience SYMPHONIES Tube preamp
Rogue M-120 Tube amp
Rogue M-120 Tube amp
Carver Al-III Plus Speaker

Adcom ACE-515 AC filter

Sure, Call the FCC and have them pay him a visit to see if his rig is over the legal limit. Have him check his antenna set up for leakage.

good luck

Thanks Rd

I already call FCC 1-888-CALL-FCC, I was told by the FCC that it's most likely my equipment is at fault, and the FCC no longer investigates RFI complaints to telephone, TV or entertainment systems and I was instructed by the FCC to contact the manufacturer who made the defective equipment for a solution. (What a $%@!)

i know the feelin , i had your neighbor a few years back, he had a giant antenna spewing out static all over the neighborhood.

all it took was one simple visit to his house to correct the problem,i dont know what he did to make all the interference go away but away it went.

this neighbor of yours should know a few things about his rig & might know how to adjust or add somthing to stop the interference.

have you talked with the guy?

Invite him over to your house to hear what his equipment is actually doing to yours. He may appreciate the problem more, and may be spurred onto some ideas to fix it. Serve refreshments and talk about possible solutions, not problems.

He might even like hi-fi enough to ditch his other hobby... hammers are notorious gearheads.
