WNB versus Christmas lights

WNB generally works well in my location but this year my neighbor put up different lights, on a timer, that seem to baffle the algorithm.  No setting of the WNB, or AGC-T, Preamp, front end filters, etc make any difference in the frying noise that adds about 4-5 S units to the normal S3  on 40 starting a 6:30PM.  The noise exists at various level well below and above 40m.

I wonder how the people, person, responsible for the WNB algorithm gathers examples of noise for testing and revisions to the WNB performance.  The possibilities are likely endless though there must be some more common though un-collated cases.

Here is the idea.  Is it possible for Flex to issue updates to the WNB between major SSDR versions? Could users send in examples, in the needed Flex format, for use in improving WNB effectiveness?

By 12th night the irritating lights will be gone and 40m will be back till next year.

    Lionel, you are spot on. I recently moved to a nice condo. Seems the new Garage Door opener (GDO), a replacement LEF outside light photocell ballast and original indoor hanging halogen lites are raising my noise floor a collective 20 dB
