Just out of curiosity, what kind of ballast(s) were you using that created interference?

I've had the cable company come to my place twice saying there was interference.

They actually showed me the interference on a laptop graph. I started freaking but then remembered the lights hadn't kicked on yet, I generally start mine around 4 PM.

They tightened my cable connections, including one in the living room and their spikey graph flat lined. They said everyone down line from me was affected.

I'd like to get some kind of tester for that shit, got testers for every other thing. I should have asked the cable guy, but I was too busy playing dumb.

A ham radio picks that shit up? I always wanted a ham radio.

I was gifted a 1000w digital ballast once when my magnetic decades old one blew. As soon as I would plug it in and power it up my tv would show static, Unplug no static, plug again static. Tried it elsewhere in the home, same shit. I got rid of that garbage right away. Good friend hugh, he knew what was up. I am magnetic ballast man all the way. I'll never trust digi again. I'm an old fart. :D

Actually, come to think of it, i always had a problem picking up the giants games on knbr 680 AM. Was most likely all the magnetic ballasts. Lol what a trip.
In my truck near those homes i grew in i could pick up the game. I get home and nope.
