Dear touched switch lamps
suffered,
thanks for the responses.
It seems there is no super hyper
tricky idea. During the next weeks I will use the switch replace
option by a
normal mains cable dimmer. Thanks to my nice neighbours!
73, Chris

Hi Stefan,
that might do the job, but I'm not sure of the combination "very expensive lovely designer lamp" and "aluminium foil" ;-)

Another idea may be to shield the switch with bonding aluminium foil
arround the switch. Connect the foil to earth (PE), if a PE wire is
available inside the switch. A small field must stay free, to lay the
finger on and turn on/off the switch, but the rest could maybe be protected?

Chris,
If the neighbour accepts and the lamp uses an earth and there is space
inside the lamp you can try a couple of capacitors from both sides of
the mains to earth, shunting the rf picked up to earth.
You can also include a capacitor across the mains, all inside the lamp.
Of course all capacitors should be suitably rated.
Regards
Lawrence

hi Chris !
You need an E-type ferrite core to put the 230v cord in. This will kill
the sensitivity to Your tzransmitted RF.
CQ-DL shop once had them, if You cant get any, just contact me

Dear all,
my neighbour uses a very expensive lovely designer lamp switched by a
four step touch switch. Unfortunately that switch follows keying of my
mf transmitter. Is there somebody having experience with that kind of
malfunction?
The distance to the antenna feeding point is approximately 16m (ANT
voltage app. 2.5kV). I tested a chain of eight common mode chokes in
series to the affected lamp (mains separation of more than 100kOhms at
the desired frequency). That showed improvement in sensitivity but the
switch did not work anymore during transmission. The most effective
solution is replacing the touch switch by a normal dimmer.
Are there better ideas to keep in use the original touch switch?
