“isolation from RF interference such as computers”?

Bingo!

Once in every blue moon STRANGE things can and will happen, such as the combination and LOCATION of a Gibson Marauder, some Peavy amp and Ross stomp box being able to not just pick up the truckers radio but to some extent be heard on their radios someone told me about that happened to them back in 1982 when they lived near a cement yard . . .

Sitting there cursing this noise issue this afternoon I noticed three things about it all, that it seemed to have something of a back ground modulation, that a few minutes after each of the arrivals of the returning Collage Students next door this background ‘eep-weeep-weeep’ seemed to get more frequent, AND that they seemed to be wandering all over their yard with wireless things checking signal . . .

It seems that RF shielding WASN’T the sort of issue back in the 1970’s and perhaps early 1980’s that it is now, ESPECIALLY if you have your equipment set up, as it turned LESS THAN 12 feet away from where four students all have one wireless modem splitting into four other wireless routers/hubs for each or their computers, as well as three of them splitting that into other wireless things for X-Box, Playstation 3 and something else, all so that all told they have “juice” to play games and share music and video with their buddies FOUR HOUSES AWAY . . . oh, and one of them loves to tinker on computers with their cases open in this very same room

So, at the cost of a broken spine from hauling six amplifiers, five synthesizers, four guitars, four bass’ and roughly a laundry basket of various effects into another room some 20 feet away, a few new “computer quality” surge protectors, two shielded cables and two new SHIELDED inter-effect connectors …

SOLVED!
