[pianotech] Problem w/ Shop Lighting

[phil at emvkeys.ca]

Try powering your radio from the opposite leg of AC or at least a 
separate circuit from what your fluorescents are powered, assuming your 
lights are 110v.  Also, try grounding the chassis of your radio directly 
to a better ground source, like the metal frame of your steel building.
