I was trying to determine how many other people are finding the same irritation.

I live in Sanibel also. I am very close to the Ham Radio. IMHO The grounding system they use in Florida is not good. I installed another ground rod at 12 homes around the Ham Radio ( 2 seperate rods at the Ham Radio home). As far as I know, no more problems. When I moved in 1 year ago, I installed 2 extra rods, and have never tripped a breaker. You may want to ask TV to install and extra rod at least 5' from the foundation.( Sould be 10' but that might put it neighbors yard). Also have them check all connection in the panel box, I found a couple of "loose" ones.
