Although I'm not a hardcore FM/TV DXer, I've found that when conditions are good, the receiving equipment really doesn't matter. For TV DXing, I use an ...

I have my radio just a few feet away from the computer. I do use one of those patch cables with a ferrite ring in it, but I don't really notice much ...

Phil, can you tell us the manufacturer / model of your RFI filtering dimmers? I looked on the Home Depot site, and couldn't find anything that has RFI...
LOL! At least you'd have a neighbor that's sensitive to interference! And even if I'm not, You'd be able to just stomp yer foot on the floor and say "Hey...
