At one time we'd put in an outlet with a ground fault interrupter
that was defective out of the box. It had a low hum to it always, we
replaced that and whatever other problems we had on that line also
ceased. Are any on that circuit?

Maybe he didn't ground the new line, or not tightly. Even
electricians can make errors. Basic wiring really isn't difficult,
if you know any do it yourselfers that could check the outlets and
breaker box and see if they can find anything. If you have to use
that guy for him to be paid for, then yeah, I'd do out of my pocket
and call someone else in on my own.

Something I wanted to ask you all... I've been playing with this for
about two weeks, and there's just no question. (The refrigerator is
one of my big problems, and I can only get my bed so far from it.  
I've tried turning off the breaker at night, which helps. (Have
filled water bottles in fridge and freezer to help keep it cold for a
number of hours.)  

I discovered breaker on or off, I get a lot better relief by actually
unplugging it. I would think with the breaker off, that would do
it. It does go into a ground fault outlet, maybe they hold a charge,
I don't know?

The hours I have it unplugged, -sometimes I do it in the early
morning, I sleep so much better, I'm relaxed, I dream, maybe more, I
remember my dreams---- that says something to me, because for years I
haven't been able to recall my dreams, and is something I have always
liked to do.

Anyway, I don't have all the testing equipment you all do, so I can't
measure the fields and such, but if anyone else tries it let me know
your results, or just why it might be unplugged is better than just
off???

Gotta go, it's starting to snow heavy, and I have to drive to town.
