GB> technical problem

[john page]

     Also Ray doesnt mention if it has been proven that the computer barfs
only when he transmitts. I think that should be the first step. Have someone
transmit from your transmitter while you observe the alleged lockup at the
neigbors house. You may find he just has a problem with his computer and is
looking for a way to get it fixed free. Your antenns look like a good excuse
to him. When I moved to my previous house, I put up a 60 foot tower and
triband beam. Didnt get the equipment unpacked and operating for almost 8
months. But I was immediately blamed for all the neighborhood problems from
TVI to the garage door down the street that just wouldnt work.
     Just my .02 worth. John
