Well Frank, I hope your new machine is quieter then my (now 3 year old) Frigidaire/Sears Washer. It is one of the new "Green" front loaders and while is does save energy, and cleans great, it is a big signal noise generator! I can hear it 100 feet away from the house on my HF mobile. Keeps me off HF on Saturday mornings.

A year ago we also bought a Frigidaire front loader washer and a dryer.The washer QRM's me when it runs and the dryer QRM's me on 40m and lower whether it runs or not.
Whenever I want to operate on 80m I have to run to the basement and flip the breaker off.I warned the XYL no laundry to be done early Sunday mornings while the 80m AM net is on 3735. Who in their right mind would spend $2200 for a pair of wideband QRM generators. My wife,that's who.
