I'm a listener only, usually on 40 metres. The aerial's a long wire inside the house, and because we're out in the country there isn't much electronic noise apart from our phone/computer modem.That's bad between 8 and 11 MHz, but I can turn it off when incoming house line calls are unlikely.

I am rural and battery chargers tend to be the least problem, RF is and so is lighting. RF riding on the mains and spikes are pretty much handled by filters.

In order to calibrate an IF, or radio the wireless NBN is like a symphony orchestra and has to be shut down. So much for compliance there.
