In the last decade there’s been a dramatic increase in RFI pollution from poorly filtered switch- mode power supplies and LED lighting. The result has been in increase in broadband EMI and a corresponding increase in the receiver noise floor for communications in the HF bands (1.8 to 30 MHz). This affects both amateur radio operators and military communications.
