Dear Michael:

        I think we all have been in the position that you are in.  As far as
the protable phone, in all probability you are interfering.  Those phones
ecomimize on selectivity in order to gain sensitivity.  They would receive a
kids Radio Shack HT on CB.

        I was just talking to my brother, K2RCH, today, and he has the same
problem.  The only difference is we are both Attorneys, and Engineers.  He
get's nowhere with his neighbor, there is no reasoning with certain
individuals.

        As an engineer, you have properly identified the source of your
problems, let him disconnect those broadband preamps.  I can run 1500 watts
into my 2 meter ant and put the Sony TV on the 432 yagi 6' away with no
interference on any channel.  My neighbor will experience TVI if I run 10
watts.

        As attorneys, my brother and I, certainly have an advantage but we
both still have the problem.  There is no solution with unreasonable people
and if there was a disaster your neighbor would be complaining as you passed
traffic.

	There is a saying "good fences make good neighbors".  The only solution
is to get a comittee of the local radio club, if there is one, to do a check.
Then that is all you can do, if the neighbor will still not listen.
